I really enjoyed this dish, but it wasn't my hubby's favorite. I used macaroni noodles instead of frilled, and used sun-dried tomatoes instead of peppers. Next time I think I will also increase the liquids a little (Or maybe I just used too much pasta in my guess-timating!) Thanks so much for sharing!! :O)

This was the best pasta salad I have ever eaten! Outstanding flavours, brilliant colours and so easy to throw together! The only change I made was to use a jar of sun dried tomatoes rather than capsicums, as I much prefer them. Still worked beautifully, I had several requests for the recipe. Thank you for posting this wonderful salad!

It is summer in my part of the world and a very warm evening. This salad made a wonderful dinner. I divided the recipe in half and served it over fresh torn salad greens. My capiscums were water packed and I took the lead of FlemishMinx and added the olive oil. The only other thing I changed was adding some freshly ground black pepper. Delicious!
