This pasta salad was a big disappointment. The flavors just didn't come together.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I used feta instead. It was still really good!

Not sure if I did something wrong, but my pasta salad turned out a little bland.

The dressing was a little too tangy for my taste, but overall the dish was still very good.

Goat cheese and arugula are a match made in heaven.

I've never tried using arugula in a pasta salad before. It was a nice change from spinach or basil.
