    After following the directions this recipe lacked in taste which is why I gave it 3 stars. After dressing it up with more lemon juice and adding red wine vinegar, honey, and a dash of red pepper flakes it was better.

    Great! This is a perfect summer cold pasta dish... highly recommend it!

    I read all the reviews and took this into consideration when making at home:

    - Added some red pepper flakes for a tiny kick
    - Made more dressing so the dish was "wetter" as I could see how the pasta would soak most of it up
    - Added roasted chicken breast, DELISH!
    - Used extra peas (1/2 cup more and asparagus (about 5 more stalks... kept the same amount of tomatoes (pint and it was perfect pasta to veggie ratio
    - Added lemon ZEST to dressing. Also, when making the dressing I dumped the dill in there and mixed it all up... was easier that way
    - Boiled my pasta and kept the water to boil the asparagus
    - This took me longer than 30 minutes though... I was in the kitchen for at least 45 - 60 minutes so that is my only complaint... thought it would be quicker to make... but after all the boiling and chopping and prepping it was worth it.

    Did not care for this and neither did my guests. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't do it for any of us. I'll never make this again.

    This salad is delightful, with a light fresh flavor seemingly influenced by Greek cuisine. It can be served as either a side salad or entree salad, if served on a bed of fresh baby spinach or arugula which has been tossed in a bit of additional dressing. It could use a dash of red or cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes as suggested in another review. I'll definitely prepare it again!
    Thank you!

    This pasta salad recipe was flavorful and delicious.....after it had been refrigerated overnight. When I served it after only a couple of hours in the fridge, it lacked enough flavor to make it memorable. However, the next night it was fantastic! The dill and all of the other flavors need more time to add their flavor. I also added lemon zest to the mix before I went to bed and re-served the 2nd night. This brightened the flavors a lot, too. For the future, I will make the day before serving. I think this is true of all pasta salads...they're better the 2nd day!

    This recipe was delicious! My whole family enjoyed this pasta salad. Like the others who posted, I added a touch of honey. The lemon and dill flavor complimented each other nicely. Will definitely make again!

    Delicious!!! I was looking for a pasta salad dressing recipe and this sounded refreshing and unique. I changed up the veggies using what I had on hand and I added a tbsp of honey to the dressing to sweeten it up a bit. We will be having this quite a bit this summer!

    My Family loved it. I used whole grain rotini and doubled the dressing. Made it exactly as the Neelys' did. Really refreshing on a very hot summer day. I would definaately make this again.

    It was a great idea. I made my dressing a little different from the instructions and I think it tastes delicious. I added red wine vinegar, a spoonful of plain yogurt, plus a little honey to sweeten it. I also added purple onion, and skipped the peas because I did not have them on hand. Great because it's vegetarian :
