This is the worst pasta salad I've ever had. It's dry and tasteless.

This pasta salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the vegetables are mushy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pasta salad turned out bland. Maybe I didn't use enough dressing?

This pasta salad had so much flavor and was so refreshing! The vegetables were crisp and the dressing was light and tangy. I loved the addition of the feta cheese and walnuts, which gave it a nice salty and crunchy texture.
