"We are not fans of creamy pasta salad, and in the Summer it can be dangerous to leave it out. This tangy, veggie packed version is elegant and perfect for packing."

Delicious! I cooked the onion and garlic in bacon grease instead of oil and used a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The instructions didn't say when to add the garlic powder, and so I forgot to put it in. It all turned out fantastic!

Yum, this is a refreshing variation on pasta salad! We loved how it was loaded with veggies, and the salami added a nice punch of flavor. I made one small change, to use gluten free pasta due to dietary need. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '13
