    I normally love mustard which is why I wanted to make this but I used half the recommended lemon juice and mustard but it was way too tangy. If I were to make this again, I would use way less dill weed and very little lemon juice. I hate giving bad reviews, I'm sorry. :-( - 3/30/09

    I found that mine needed the extra tang after it set awhile. The pasta seems to absorb all the flavor.

    Great salad! The fat free dressing really makes this a lot lower than other pasta salads. - 3/26/09
