This was GREAT, everyone loved it. Here were some slight changes I made just for personal taste. I used chopped cucumber instead of broccoli, yellow & red peppers instead of green, wheat pasta since you can't tell that much of a difference once you add all the dressings. Didn't use the green onions & used light miracle whip & light creamy italian. Made for a very good, light summer salad, thanks!

Oh Man!!! This is the best!! The only thing I did different is blanch the brocolli, add some dried dill, and I used "Hidden Valley Italian Ranch" intead of another creamy Italian dressing. I may add about 1/2 a cup of celery next time I make it just for some added crunch. I may add cucumber on a third try just to see what transpires. This recipe is easy and worth a try.

Well all my husband can say is WOW, THIS IS THE BEST SALAD I HAVE EVER HAD! I am allergic to seafood so could not have it but he says it is great. I used shrimp, , and lobster and I used Classic Herb dressing instead of Italian. I also blanched the broccoli, for a few minutes. Excellent recipe, thank you for sharing.

After reading the reviews, I decided to make this salad for a reception this past weekend. WOW!!! It was easy to make,although a little time consuming (I did blanch the broccoli and used red, yellow,and green peppers for added color. The dressing I used was Kraft's creamy Italian - 1/4 C.) Everyone thought the salad was delicious and it was gone before I was able to get a second helping - Usually, I'm not a fan of crab, imitation or otherwise, but there's just something about this combination of ingredients, I guess! I plan to make this again and highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you!!!

This is a great "healthy" recipe. I added some carrots and water chesnuts for extra crunch.

Very tasty! I used vegetable noodles instead of shells because I like the added color, and I didn't have Italian so I used Creamy Ceasar instead. Still wonderful!
