Great but I added an avocado which made it tastier and left out the blue cheese salad dressing, as it would have been very greasy with the olive oil and dressing. - 02 Aug 2013
What a wonderful combination of salmon,pasta, and exquisite ingedrients. I think the measured amounts of the combined ingredients makes this recipe work, it savors the palate. The taste is lasting and makes a flavor statement. Try it yourself and see what I am saying about the satisfying taste. Good job Holly And this is called a salad!!!!! - 23 May 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Because I didn't have some of the ingredients in the house that I thought I had, I changed the recipe just a bit, substituting the blue cheese dressing with a light olive oil Italian dressing, and adding some capers and dill. I also used feta cheese and mixed it and the other ingredients throughout the pasta instead of just topping it. Yum! - 21 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
