Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I like to add just a bit more spinach to this pasta salad to balance out the amount of pasta. Cubed grilled chicken in this is great in it, as I sometimes like to make a quick pasta salad for dinner on a busy weeknight. Crumbled cooked bacon would taste great in it for a different twist, and your favorite Caesar dressing could be substituted for the greek if that is what you have on hand. I love using the radiatore pasta in salads since they hold the dressing really well.

Very good! I used 16 oz pasta but I will use the lesser amount next time as it almost over-powered the other ingredients. I do not care for kalamata olives so I substituted with black olives. The dressing was the wonderful accent that pulled everything together. I served this with rotisserie chicken and French bread. I will definitely make this salad again!

I served this pasta on memorial day weekend with marinated chicken wings and shrimp kabobs. What a hit. I had to give it to 3 of my 8 guests! Made my party a success

I served this along with some French Dip sandwiches to company and they all raved about dinner, especially the wonderful salad.

Toss some chunks of cucumber in there too!

This is a salad I would like...not hubby though.
