I shall go forth and make this salad! It sounds like a great recipe for a cookout- easy to do and makes a ton.

Yum, sounds delicious! (But then, I love almost anything made with prosciutto. Mmmmm salt.)

I make something similar that we just call pasta salad. I don’t like creamy dressings that are on the typical pasta salad, so I use balsamic vinegarette. Cook whatever noodles you like, I prefer rotini for this bc it catches stuff. I chop a tiny red onion, green pepper, carrots, cucumber and whatever other vegetables while the noodles are cooking. After letting the noodles cool (this is important because the noodles will absorb too much of the dressing if they are warm when you put on the dressing) I toss in the vegetables and the amount of balsamic dressing that I like. I also put some fresh ground pepper in just for giggles. Then I toss with goat cheese feta which I prefer over regular feta. I like blue cheese too, but a lot of people are anti blue cheese.

This is also glorious with some grilled chicken that has been marinated in balsmic vinegarette. I use Newman’s Own lite balsamic because it is my favorite.
