Notes

This salad is lightly dressed. If you like extra dressing on your pasta salad, feel free to 1.5x the dressing.
Store leftover salad in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for about 4 to 5 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir and taste + season again as needed. This salad is best served chilled.
