The salad and dressing look awesome. To cut the tomatoes quickly take two plates that have raised rims on bottom and flip one upside down, place tomatoes inside rim and place 2nd plate right side up over tomatoes. Now you can hold top plate and place knife between rims and slice through tomatoes.

We were hesitant on trying your dressing. We are Italian Dressing fans and your recipe is by far the best we have ever had. This recipe will be in our kitchen from now on. You have that special gift. Amazing!!

My beautiful wife has been making this for us for years, we love it

[mrs.bfhill]

I love that you're eating as you go! Totally my wife and I when we cook 😂😂😂

Rewatching an old classic!! I have made the dressing probably more than the actual salad it’s that darn good 😅I replaced the mayo with dijon mustard to cut the calories down, but it was absolutely way better than store bought 🥰

This was crazy good! Probably the best pasta salad I've ever made. I use cider vinegar ( using about 1/3 cup) instead of wine vinegar. Also I just added the shredded parmesan directly to the salad itself. Since I had flat leaf parsley in the refrigerator I used that instead of the dried. I never thought of putting a little bit of mayonnaise in my salad dressing but I think it helps the dressing stick to the pasta and veggies a little better. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe! I'll be making this again and again.

Natasha, I saw a quick way to slice cherry tomatoes....lay a round plastic lid over the tomatoes to keep them in place and use a serrated knife to 'slide' under the lid cutting through the tomatoes. It helps if the lid is clear so you can see underneath. A cool whip size lid or a smaller round lid works. Hope this helps! Love watching your videos!

I made this for guests at a bridal shower. Needless to say it was huge success! I know the homemade Italian dressing takes it over the top. No leftovers is always the sign someone looks for when they bring food. Will be using and adding this recipe to my stash! Thank you!
