"I couldn't find orzo so I used elbow pasta - was fine but would have been better with orzo. Since I am growing basil, I used that instead of tarragon; worked just as well.

Be sure to use fresh corn. It's not necessary to cook it.

I tried this for a cook out... it was terrible..threw it out

Used fresh oregano from the garden and it was great. Halved the dressing recipe and it was the perfect amount. Thanks much!

I used canned beans instead of fresh, but it was still tasty but not as colorful. My family loved it. I did also use a honey mustard and a stone ground instead of Dijon because it was what I had on hand. A keeper!

Great summer salad! I didn't have tarragon or shallots handy, and it still tasted great. Perfect for fresh seasonal produce.

Delicious, light salad with a bright flavor. Goes very well with grilled food.

The dressing on the salad was not a hit. The whole family disliked it. They did like the orzo and veggies without the dressing. Next time we will try a different dressing.

I doubled the recipe for a party with no problem, but didn't need to double the dressing. Fabulous with basil - guests devoured it!

The ratio between oil and vinegar is way off. The dressing requires much less vinegar that 1/2 cup. Two tablespoons of Terragon over powers the entire salad, making everything taste like black licorice. My suggestion would be to lessen the amount of vinegar and decrease the amount of Terragon or omit it all together.

It turned out good, my family loved it.

Delicious! More than 4 servings I would say though.

You don't have to cook the corn first - it actually tastes very sweet and yummy raw in this salad.
|
|
|
Question: don't you cook the corn first?

This is a wonderful cold pasta salad. It is perfect for those hot summer days. It is a very flavorful salad that tickles my taste buds!
