    Made this salad last week and it went over well. I admit to having made some minor changes (elbow macaroni instead of penne; also used shredded mozzarella and a lite balamic vinaigrette). I sprinkled dried basil throughout the salad. We liked it.

    Okay, I made this and WOW, it is truly tart! I tried to cut it some by adding a half chopped purple onion; a can of whole blk. olives; 1 Tbsp of white pepper and chopped up a half of packet of fresh basil (leaves only, no stems), then sprinkled fresh parmesian on top too. I used a 12 oz. package of pasta and it really soaked up the juices....use what the recipe calls for. I also sprinkled some VOO. I used too much basil! Didn't like it.
