    I made this salad twice this summer, once for Father's Day and once again for a pre 3-week rafting send-off for friends. Both times, I got rave reviews and they couldn't leave it alone. I had hoped for leftovers, but they left me with none!! The only change I made was to add freshly grated parmesan at the end (grated over top. My family isn't pleased unless every dish i make has cheese in it or on it.

    I followed other reviewers advice and blanched the zucchini and squash for a couple minutes first. I have never been a fan of these veggies raw, especially when they are in such large chunks. I was also making this for a party, and one of my good friends is allergic to mustard, so I left that out. I think it would have been better with the mustard. It was still good, but I had to add a little squeeze of fresh lemon juice to give it some zip that it was lacking because of the missing mustard. Once everything got mixed together, it tasted really good. I think the sun dried tomatoes made the dish. Had i used cherry tomatoes, or left them out altogether, I do not think this would have been that good.

    I added asparagus & blanched all 3 veggies.Plus I used halved cherry tomatoes.The dressing had a taste I've never really tasted, in a good way!Garlicky with a kick! Refreshing and light, but also very savory. Doesn't help it was easy on the eyes with all the different colors.This is definetly something I'll make again!

    You have to try this one! It is soooo good and something different from the same old pasta salad recipes. I cook at a country club and am always looking for a different take on an old stand by. Robert is so creative and excellent on his show, Dinner Impossible. He never ceases to amaze me!!!

    This salad and (especially its dressing makes an excellent canvas for add-ons. I omitted the sun-dried tomatoes and added halved cherry tomatos. I cut the basil leaves into a chiffonade, blanched the zucchini and yellow squash (only until lightly crisp .... no mushy veggies! and added cubed, FRESH buffalo mozzarella. Add dressing until moistened, not soggy - you may have leftover dressing. Refrigerate. It was very good and I envisioned how beautifully other veggies (roasted would further beautify this salad. Yum.

    The dressing on this salad makes the whole dish! I blanched the zucchini and squash like a previous person, and used cut in half cherry tomatoes so my 1 year old could eat it a bit easier. We all enjoyed this one, very different from most pasta salads I make. Served with some steak tips, num num!!

    I agree that the dressing is out of this world! The salad looks as good as it tastes - it's always nice to put something "pretty" on the table.

    This is terrific on so many levels!! A great way to sneak in some extra veggies for the kids. I blanched the squash & zucchini, and used fresh grape tomatoes...the kids gobbled it up! The dressing is equally as good - I plan to make it for other salads this summer!
