Zesty Rotini Salad image

The key word in this recipe is ZESTY! Serves well with any kind of meal, or by itself as a salad for lunch. I add cottage cheese on the side of the dish. Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top is a nice addition, as well. Add zesty Italian salad dressing to taste. For large amounts, don't be surprised if you use an entire large bottle!

This salad is a waste of time and ingredients. The dressing is gloopy and the vegetables are tasteless.

The salad was easy to make, but the flavors didn't really come together for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more herbs or spices.

The dressing is a little too tangy for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by adding a bit more honey.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of odds and ends in my fridge, and this is a great way to turn them into a delicious meal.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was a total success! It's easy to transport and held up well in the heat.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The zesty dressing perfectly complements the tender rotini, crisp veggies, and savory cheese. I especially love the hint of tanginess from the lemon juice.
