    Great recipe...a definite keeper!!! I made this with Giada's Rosemary Chicken Burgers. I actually had quite a bit left so I added more mayo and mixed in tuna for a tuna pasta salad.

    First, if you don't have balsamic vinegrette, MANY thanks to "clorente" for posting a recipe in the review dated Aug. 11, 2011! After trying both, I prefer that one to store bought. : This pasta salad is easy and very tasty. It gets better after sitting a few days also. It is perfect for anyone who wants to fiddle with the recipe and personalize it. I added French cut sweet onions roasted in balsamic vinegar (from an Ina recipe and yellow bell pepper for the color. For me, they were great additions. Even so, this is a great recipe just as Paula printed.

    Hopefully people will keep printing the date of the simple balsamic vinegrette from "clorente" so even when it gets buried by other reviews, people can find it using the date.

    Yummy and very tasty !! I didn't have any Kalmata Olives so I used black olives instead . I also left out cheese just because I didn't want to run to the store . A HUGE thanks to clorente for her recipe of the balsamic vinagarette . I made it exactly as she said even adding fresh basil from my garden . It was delicious !! I also used fresh tomatos and green peppers from garden !! My husband even went back for seconds !!

    To the person that wanted the balsamic vinaigrette, take 1/4 c vinegar, 1/2 c olive oil, 1/4 t. garlic, 1 t. dijon, salt & pepper and you have a great viaigrette. You can also add basil, if desired. To the person that wants to make it the night before, prepare the recipe, but only add 1/2 the dressing. Bring to room temperature about an hour before serving and add the rest of the dressing. It keeps it from being too dry. The key to this recipe is the dressing. It's great. You can add whatever you want to it.

    I love Paula's recipes! This one is simple and very adaptable to your own changes. The dressing is deliciious, but next time I will double it. I made this for a lunch for our family reunion. To make it more of a main dish, I added cubed salami and mozzarella cheese. Omitted the mushrooms (just because I don't like them! Everyone loved it. Thanks, this one's a keeper!

    I loved this recipe. The lightness of the dressing was great compared to mayo based ones. Wonderful Paula! Thanks!

    Is there anything that Paula Deen does that doesn't taste great? A co-worker made this for lunch and I loved it! I didn't even like olives AT ALL! I was a little hesitant about tasting everything, but I loved it, even the olives!!! I will definitely do this myself for years to come!

    I have not made this yet and it sounds so yummy. Can not find a store-brought balsamic vinaigrette dressing in our rural market. Got colavita balsamic vinegar and extra virgin oil in the pantry....any suggestions to make a homemade dressing for this salad. Thanks ya'll for any reply.
