Notes
For the best results, ensure the pasta is cooked to the right texture as overcooked pasta may become mushy when combined with the dressing. Feel free to customize the salad by adding other ingredients such as bell peppers or fresh herbs like basil or parsley for extra flavor. For a more robust taste, allow the salad to sit for a few minutes after tossing to let the flavors meld together.
