Made this and my family couldn’t stop raving! I did not do the radicchio and Romaine, however more like a traditional pasta salad. Will be having this a lot this summer! Yum! Thank you

I made this at the last minute before guests arrived with a few substitutions because of missing ingredients, but everyone loved it. I will certainly be making this one again and again!!

Can't say this was my favorite of your pasta salads... the radicchio made the salad a bit too bitter for me, so next time I would leave it out. Otherwise good flavours and tastes better after sitting overnight!

This is a fabulous pasta salad! A fusion of so many different flavors that complement each other superbly well.  I did add some roasted tomatoes, artichokes, &amp; red onion &amp; did not include the romaine as I wanted it to last awhile in the fridge.  There are so many ways to tweak this dish to your individual preferences.  And the salad dressing is phenomenally fresh.  I did not have champagne vinegar so I used organic red wine vinegar &amp; I could not find radicchio so I used some finely chopped organic red cabbage.  Perfect! Thanks for the recipe Tieghan!

The flavors of the dressing are good but I would suggest a couple of changes. One, do not put the romaine and radicchio in while the pasta is warm unless you want wilted slimy lettuce in your salad. I would add the lettuce to the chilled salad right before serving. I would chill the pasta before adding the cheese as well as that will start to soften and melt. I used about half the amount of cheese and cut it into much smaller pieces that what was pictured as no one wants such giant chunks of cheese in a salad.
