    This is an excellent recipe...I'd say almost exactly like mine with just a few changes. Besides the salad dressing, I sprinkle in Salad Supreme. I add artichoke bottoms or hearts if I have them. I'd use whole olives, but small to medium. That way, if someone doesn't like them, they are easier to remove than halves or slices. (Never use chopped...they look like bugs.) Oh, and instead of chopped tomatoes, I'd use cherry or other small tomato...if you have leftovers, the tomatoes don't get soggy like cut-up ones do. Also, sliced radishes tend to stick together, so if you do a bit of a chop on them instead (like quarter them and then slice thickly), they will distribute better.

    *save Some of the Salad Dressing to Pour on Just Before Serving. When It's Time to Serve You Can Add More Salad Dressing, If You Like More. the Pasta Has a Tendency to Soak Up Salad Dressing as It Marinates, So I Save Some to Add Right at Serving Time.
