We found this salad to be a little dry, so we added fresh chopped tomatoes. It was quite good!

This is a great pasta salad! My original intent for this recipe was for today's lunch...I started it last night and after letting the pasta chill, I added the remaining ingrediants and let chill overnight. About an hour before lunch, I pulled this out of the fridge and although it had taste, it was very dry. I added some italian dressing (just enough to dampen the pasta) and put it back in the fridge to blend and cooked an alternative lunch instead. I just pulled this salad out to taste-test after letting it sit with the Italian dressing addition (apprx 2 hours) and it is fantastic!! I can hardly stop eating it! The heat is "warm" (not spicy or hot) due to the chilli powder but very tasty. Love it and will continue to make again and again. Thanks Holly!

My husband and I did not like this salad. We didn't realise how much we don't like the taste of coriander. If I ever try it again, I will omit it.
