Countryside Pasta Salad image

I found this recipe on a can of tomatoes. It tastes great right after it is made or even the next day. The addition of bacon adds a nice smokey flavor to this pasta salad. You could easily add some chopped cooked chicken and serve this on a bed of lettuce for a complete lunch.

This pasta salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the vegetables were soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the vegetables were a little bland. I think I would have liked it better with a different dressing.

This pasta salad was delicious and easy to make! I used a gluten-free pasta, and it turned out great. The dressing was tangy and flavorful, and the vegetables were crisp and fresh.

Really enjoyed this pasta salad! It was light and refreshing, and the dressing was flavorful but not too heavy. I would definitely make this again.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly, and it turned out perfectly. The dressing was especially good - I loved the combination of vinegar and herbs.

I've made this pasta salad several times now, and it's always a hit! It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand, so it's a great way to clean out the fridge.

This pasta salad is a winner! The combination of flavors and textures is just perfect. I especially loved the crunch of the carrots and celery, and the dressing was tangy and flavorful without being overpowering. I will definitely be making this agai
