This salad was terrible. It doesn't make 6 servings. It's not even 1 serving. The dressing tastes like sour mayo. It was so bad, I threw it out. Instead, I bought Suddenly Pasta Salad Classic and threw in 2/3 cups of grape tomatoes. I will not be making this again.

Loved this recipe. Instead of carrots, I used green peppers and tomatoes along with the other veggies. For some reason, I thought carrots didn't quite fit the recipe. Super yummy!
