[rajkaj123]

yall want some salad!!!!???? yeee hawwww!!!!! lol jk

really though excellent recipe

[zzzsnorlaxzzz]

I might add the following variation: Drop the Italian dressing and swap in Balsamic Vinegar/Vinaigrette, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (typically if not using vinaigrette), and some Black Olives. The vinegar and oil mixture takes a bit of trying to achieve a good balance(per taste) but once achieved it is nice. I would probably cut my bell peppers up at least a half more than you did as well to fit a fork full more nicely but that is personal preference. You did excellent regardless and made it easy :)

[SnakeCharmer07]

Love the green cutting board!!

[AnnaFresa1]

you are look soo amazing.I am watching your smile instead of what you are cooking heheh Great Job!!! Kisses

[bookmark71]

That looks really good. I make basically the same thing except using wheat pasta, shredded parmesan cheese, sliced olives, spinach, baby bell peppers sliced into small rings, artichoke hearts, and a coating of light balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

[Stef6788]

Hey,

I don't like mushrooms. Do you have any idea what substitute would work good? Maybe corn?

[bettyskitchen]

Hi! Yes, corn would be wonderful in this salad! Thanks for noting that! Other people will agree with you!

--Betty :)

[bbgirl822]

Mmmm yummy I love tomatoes and cucumbers in my salad...

Xxoo

[bettyskitchen]

@bbgirl822 One thing about pasta salad is that you can pick and choose your vegetables to make it to your taste! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[yellowgroove]

Nice video Betty! will you be doing any outdoor recipe's say on the grill this year when the weather gets nice? it would be a good variation to add a little something different to an already great channel! IMO, we should get you entered as the #1 cooking channel on you tube! you would def be in the top bracket. keep up the excellent tips, subscriber for life here.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, I definitely will be doing outdoor recipes as the weather gets nicer! I'm really looking forward to it! I'm glad you enjoy my channel!

[bettyskitchen]

@sixstrings2650 Thanks! The intro was designed by two of my viewers from Hungary. I think it's great, too! I have lots of recipes with pecans--pecan pie, race day pie, pecan topped sweet potatoes, pecan bars, pecan puff cookies, pecan pancakes, and many more. Just go to bettyskitchen and type in the search keyword pecan!

@umkoki I'm glad you like the looks of this pasta salad. You can change it to your own taste, by adding different vegetables, maybe increasing the vegetables or decreasing the pasta, and it will be a great diet dish for you!

--Betty :)

[sam52877]

@nkr1695 Thanks for your kind comments! The intro was a gift from 2 viewers from Budapest, Hungary. I am so grateful for it!

--Betty :)

[MrRallz]

Well this is something I can try since it's vegetarian. I'm probably going to use a different dressing though since here, they don't sell vegetarian italian dressing unfortunately. Can't wait to try this. I know it'll be amazing like all of your other recipes that I have tried.

[theeSHXT]

i'm veg too and we just make ours

it's 1 part vinegar 2 parts olive oil

oregano to taste

garlic powder or fresh garlic if you don't mind the bite, to taste

red pepper flakes, to taste

and season the salad with salt and pepper after tossing with the dressing, again, to taste.

[bettyskitchen]

@theeSHXT Thanks for your lovely comment and for the great instructions for making a sauce for the pasta salad. It sounds great!

--Betty  :)

[bettyskitchen]

@MrRallz Thanks for your lovely comment! I will try to do more vegetarian things as produce from the summer comes along!

--Betty :)

[richardpeej]

This is a lovely looking salad Betty-so colourful and looks very tasty. I usually make some coleslaw when we  have salad. Great recipe :-) Richard

[bettyskitchen]

@richardpeej Hi Richard! I hope you enjoy the pasta salad! I'm sure your coleslaw is wonderful! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[OneHappyBird123]

Betty, you make your pasta salad just like I do! The only difference Is, I add sliced olives and turkey pepperoni that I cut into strips with my kitchen scissors. It makes such a nice meal on a hot day.

[bettyskitchen]

@OneHappyBird123 I love the idea of adding sliced olives and turkey pepperoni! What a nice meal! Thanks!

--Betty :)

[MsZaichik]

Love the intro! and you look absolutely lovely! and the recipe, as usual is soo straightforward and easy! quick question though, my diet involves not eating pasta..could you suggest any substitute?

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely compliments! How about rice in place of the pasta? Brown or white rice would be a good substitute.

--Betty :)

[hannahlovesherstuff]

[tuffydoodle]

I know what I'm having for lunch today! And this salad is very easy to make gluten free, there are lots of different kinds of gluten free pastas on the market and they are all tasty.

[bettyskitchen]

@tuffydoodle Thanks for your lovely comment, and also for the information for those on gluten-free diets!
