    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/10/2018   I made this salad exactly as written for a neighborhood picnic. It was well received, but I had to serve it with a slotted spoon due to the oil that pooled on the bottom of the large, wide bowl that I served it in. I agree with a prior reviewer that the 1/2 cup of olive oil was way too much. It also affected the leftovers as it made them soggy. I would make this again with less olive oil and also increasing the pasta a bit.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/27/2014   Love the taste. Very easy to make. However, the suggested amount of pasta was not enough for 8, I had to double the pasta. And 1/2 a cup of olive oil was too much, even for the double amount of pasta.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/22/2012   Awesome! The pinto beans add a nice nutty flavor to this salad. I embellished a little bit and added mustard seeds and dry dill. Yum.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/27/2012   just made it and it is so delicious! Everybody loves it - especially the vinegar lovers ;)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/25/2012   Yum girl.. your little dance works with the summer feel.. I will make this recipe tomorrow as we are going on a picnic! Thank you
