I loved this salad, as did my hubby. I didnt change a thing and it was fabulous! The grapes are a nice addition...will make again! - 06 Jul 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I'm having a ladies luncheon on Saturday. The problem I have is they are all great cooks and have all tried every new recipe. I found this recipe to be something totally different. I know they'll just love it. I never serve anything new until I've tried it first. I have to say that this is wonderful! I increased the amount of dressing as others suggested; and anyone who knows me, knows I just have to add a cup of celery. I also left out the cheese and increased the grapes adding red as well as green. Oh my, how wonderful! I'm excited to have found a recipe that none of my friends have yet! Thanks Allison!PS I used seashell pasta. The shape seems to hold onto the dressing better than other shapes. - 05 Jan 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
FABULOUS RECIPE! I checked out everyone's recommendations first and then: doubled the sauce, also added halved grape tomatoes, julienned swiss cheese. Whatever you do, definitely double the sauce. YUM! - 31 Jul 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
