Christina's Notes
- Use Short Pasta: Shapes like rotini or farfalle hold dressing best.
- Don’t Overcook Pasta: Al dente is ideal to avoid a mushy salad.
- Make It Ahead: Flavors improve as it chills—make it the night before if possible.
- Add Protein: Toss in grilled chicken or chickpeas for a complete meal.
- Serve Cold: This is a true cold pasta salad—perfect for warm days.
