I’ve tried a lot of homemade Italian dressings for my pasta salad, and yours is the best, perfectly balanced. I even tried adding grated parmesan, but it ruined the taste. Thank you for your wonderful recipe! **chef kiss**

[@JessicaGavin]

I am so happy to hear that!

[@rivpom]

Good recipe and clear instructions. Your bowl is too small to toss the salad though.

[@susannahhoffs860]

What on earth is a culinary scientist? 🤔

[@vertycummings3746]

Could you post the recipe please.

[@4UStevePerry]

Don't throw away the pasta water it has a lot of vitamins. Don't rinse the pasta either.

[@silencipher]

What to do with the water?

[@stephenhill6791]

Your husband has a trophy wife! I'm jealous! LOL

[@JessicaGavin]

He is a very lucky man 😆

[@hazelshirley7965]

Sorry what where all the ingredients

[@JessicaGavin]

They are all listed in the description. There’s also a link to the printed recipe instructions if you need it.

[@hazelshirley7965]

@@JessicaGavin thank you

[@juliebolduc802]

Pasta and ALL foods CAN be made WITHOUT adding salt. I hope people do not look at this and other recipes and think they cannot have it because you “have” to add salt.

[@meherniger8835]

Too much talk!

[@enjoy7024]

Nonsense Meher!

[@sakinamirsultan6072]

OMG, too many ingredients. Please make a simple pasta salad recipes.
