I made this last night for a burger BBQ and everyone loved it. Even my non-vegetable loving friend gobbled it up. It makes a lot, so if you are making it for 4 or less, halving the recipe would be ideal. I'm eating the leftovers right now--I just added a bit more olive oil and lemon juice to moisten and it's delicious. I just love Paula. Wish she could come by to my next BBQ!

This salad is fresh and versitile. Everyone who tried it (we had a few who don't like mushrooms really enjoyed the dressing. My husband absolutely loved it! I'm going to try to mix it with a meat or fish selection as mentioned by a few people below me and see how that works. This website is a great summer resource we love to use!

Consider whole grain pasta for an even healthier result.

I've made this several times after seeing it on her show. I've used the asparagus but I've also used leftover broccoli or sauted summer squash. What really makes it a hit is the light dressing of lemon juice and oil, the other seasonings can be adjusted to taste. We use this salad as a meal in itself, sometimes with meat (chicken or salmon and sometimes as a meatless meal.

Great ingredients in this salad, but too much pasta. I'd descrease the amount of pasta or increase the veges. We added grilled chicken and topped with freshly shredded parmesan. Mmmmmm!

I didn't stick to the recipe precisely because I didn't have the exact herbs/spices that the recipe called for. I didn't have garlic or onion powder, so I substituted garlic & onion salt instead of those and the salt. Also, we don't really like too much oregano, so I used Mrs. Dash & kept the parsley flakes. Used 1 tsp each, and only about 3/4 tsp of the black pepper.

By the way, I used my Paula Dean Grill pan that I bought from HSN/QVC...not sure which. It worked wonderfully! I even used the panni press for the portabello mushrooms!!

The salad wasn't too heavy and was filling with those mushrooms. The lemon added a freshness that I loved. It's a wonderful choice for those with milk allergies like myself...no need for creamy sauces or dressings, or cheese...which also makes this a great salad for a picnic!!

Anyway, the salad was a hit and is now my aunt's new favorite! Definitely in for a repeat performance!

I had to double the dressing. Also, I used fresh herbs and added chives and basil. I felt that it needed more veggies so I added grilled yellow squash and purple onion. I wasn't sure whether to serve cold or room temperature.

I thought this was great and will make it again. Next time I'll add more mushrooms as I love them. The anonymous reviewer who mentioned she doesn't like Paula's recipes is missing out!

The salad had too many herbs. I cut them in half and still did not like the taste. I have tried many of Paula's dishes and have not liked many of them.
