I made this pasta salad for my husbands birthday and he loved it! After trying the dressing ratio in the recipe, I did 4 TBLS red wine vinegar and 1/3 cup olive oil just to make it a little less dry (the next time I made it). It was a huge hit. We’ve taken this on several picnics. This will be a recipe I make for the rest of my life. Highly recommend.

I'm not a fan of pasta salads at all. However, our family hosted a large gathering for Christmas and I decided to try this one as a "side" dish. I have to admit, it was pure deliciousness! Everyone loved it! I've made it 4 or 5 times since then and it's my definition of pasta salad. So easy to make. I followed the recipe, just added more chicken. Give it a try, you'll love it.

So yummy, makes a huge portion, but it was delicious!

We have tried several pasta salad recipes and they are always lacking. I resisted my urge to change the recipe the first time and I am glad I did. The only change: I doubled it, because it’s so nice to have leftovers for our family of four and this was a hit! Thanks for such a nice, refreshing pasta salad, the dill and Dijon (don’t substitute that) were an amazing combination.

This was a huge winner in my house. Ages 75 to age 9. Delicious!

Great pasta salad! I added a yellow bell pepper, skipped the bacon and dill, and used white wine vinegar instead of red but it was delicious! My husband raved about it!

Really great recipe!  I had to make substitutions due to a lack of interest in running to the store, but it was still amazing.  Left out the dill since I was out, and added diced, fresh mozzarella instead of feta (due to husband's preferences) but will try again with the feta for sure!  Also, added some grilled zucchini, roasted red bell pepper and a little extra bacon and garlic.  Seriously a good recipe for a hot day when any hot food sounds too heavy.  Grilled the chicken and used my instant pot for the pasta so kitchen stayed cool, and my husband and daughter ate two bowls each!  Win!

the first time i made this, i had to substitute the red wine vinegar with balsamic, and after making it again using red wine vinegar this time, i would suggest trying balsamic! i left the rest of the dressing the same of course. overall though this is a great recipe!! really good for picnics!

Great recipe!! A big winner in my house this evening.
