This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I used a mix of broccoli, carrots, and celery. It was a healthy and delicious side dish.

This is my new favorite pasta salad recipe! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I love that it can be made ahead of time, too.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta salad turned out too runny. I think I might have added too much milk.

This pasta salad was easy to make and tasted great! I used penne pasta and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. It was a perfect lunch for a busy weekday.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and herbs to give it more flavor.

This pasta salad was a bit too creamy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a vinaigrette dressing instead.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow. I used rotini pasta and added some chopped bacon. It was a perfect side dish for my grilled chicken.

I'm not usually a fan of pasta salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the vegetables add a nice crunch. I'll be making this again soon!
