Very nice. I felt the addition of some finely chopped diced red onion brought the flavors up. Thanks for sharing. -
Cool and refreshing. This is a nice change from the normal summer salads. -
This is a very good, but simple salad. I used campanelle pasta and English cucumbers which I didn't peel, but sliced very thinly. I had grape tomatoes on hand which I quartered. I also added some finely diced onion to the mix for more flavor. The salad did need more salt and pepper to bring out the flavor of the dressing, though. I provided this as part of a salad bar at the area community center. It was the first empty bowl. That makes it a winner here.
