Pesto Pasta Salad with Tomatoes and Mozzarella

Well, there was a comment in 2017 regarding the mismatch of the amount of mozzarella - 3 ounces in the ingredient list, 10 ounces (divided) in the instructions. Here it is, 2021, and - surprise, surprise - no correction has been made. I suppose one could make an executive decision and add the cheese "to taste", but seriously, this is a major faux pas for the recipe writer and any - ha-ha - editors. I shall take great care not to, as another reviewer commented, refrigerate the ready-to-eat combination in order to avoid coloring everything to match the homemade pesto.

The list of ingredients calls for 3 ounces of mozzarella but the instructions list 10 ounces -- anybody?  Another thing: the numbers are printed to small in each place that even with supplemental reading glasses, they are very hard to read.  Why so small? 

I used regular pasta, not the whole grain.  Tip to prevent the "ugly" color, a few drops of lemon juice.  We thought this was perfect along side BBQ meat.  I'd make this for a potluck in a heartbeat.  I did use 2 garlic cloves and since you can't really call it pesto without a nut, I added 1/4 cup of pinenuts to the pesto.  Will make again.

Made this yesterday, refrigerated it for about two hours and the whole thing was a very unappetizing army green. We did eat it and thought it fair, but very ugly. I guess it must be eaten immediately!

Is this to be served hot, warm, or cold?

I thought this might be an over the top recipe but i agree with "Solid but not great".My guests thought it was delicious...Me fine but not over the top/  

We made this for lunch and it was delicious! We doubled the garlic because we love garlic but otherwise made it exactly to the recipe. The pesto didn't come out super smooth in the full size food processor so I will probably use the mini one next time, but it was delicious even so. Nice light meal.

My whole family loved it. I used a purchased light pesto instead of making it fresh.

I had the ingredients and was able to get dinner done in an hour.  It's good, but not great so I won't make it again as there are so many others to try.  It's like a first date, and there's no reason to see him again.

I made this last night but added some leftover chopped roasted chicken.  I also used Trader Joe"s mini heirloom tomatoes (less expensive) rather  than buying grape and cherry tomatoes.  Keeper--light meal for a warm evening.warm
