Creamy Italian Pasta Salad
"If you like simple pasta salads you should try this. I love this in the summer but you could have this any time. I didn't see any other recipes like this that used both dressings so I thought I'd share mine. They really do go well together. This is pretty versatile and you can add any veggies that you'd like."

The recipe title says 'Creamy'. Does that mean they're using the creamy dressings or regular dressings? New cooks need specifics. I'm a seasoned cook and I questioned this. Haven't made it as yet because I need to purchase the correct dressing. -
That’s a lot of cheese. -
Hi. Do you use creamy Italian and creamy Caesar.? They sell both. Tx

What a wonderful Pasta Salad. I like The Paul Newman Ceasar Dressing (not creamy) and used that together with the Itl. Dressing. At first I thought, wow thats a lot of dressing, but after it sat in the refrigerator , the pasta absorbed enough to make it just right!!! Thanks, Koechin/Chef -
Delicious!! We love pasta salad and I was intrigued by the combination of italian and caesar dressing so had to try! Yum! I halved the batch using rainbow radiatore and omitted the pepper (personal taste) and added button mushrooms in their place. The flavor is so good with such a nice zip to it! I reduced the fat by using fat free zesty italian and light caesar dressings and used only about 2/3 of it and thought it was plenty. Thank you for another great recipe MT! Will definitely be making this again!:) -
Fantastic! This would be the perfect dish for a spring time potluck or picnic. Will make again for sure! -
My family enjoyed the tanginess & creaminess of this pasta salad. Thanks for posting!

This was a great salad. I have made the Italian one before but this was creamy and loved the cheese in it. I would take more dressing if not serving right away does get a little dry after a day or two.
