Chef's tips for making this recipe
To get the best results, cook the pasta al dente. This ensures it stays firm even after soaking up the dressing. Letting the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving helps the flavors blend beautifully. For an extra kick, try adding a bit of Dijon mustard to the dressing—it adds a nice depth of flavor.
