Dressed with a simple vinaigrette made from fresh herbs and a good quality extra-virgin olive oil, this pasta salad is as delicious as it is easy to prepare. The homemade Italian dressing will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days, so consider doubling the recipe to keep some on hand.

We really enjoyed this salad. I followed the recipe as written except I used elbow macaroni and I omitted the salt in the salad dressing. I served with grilled salmon. A great summer meal. I will definitely make this salad again.

it doesn't give you the dressing recipe, which is deceiving.Nor does it give you an amount of dressing to use. But a good salad for summer - just either buy dressing or make your own!
