Really liked this. I added black olives, cubed mozzarella cheese, and shredded carrots to add more veggies and "umph" to the dish. You might want to have extra italian dressing because the pasta will soak it up and the salad might be a little bland the next day.

I like to use fresh broccoli if I can. And add cucumbers, black olives and red grapes give it a plus. :D
