Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the right pasta: This recipe calls for fusilli, but you can use any short pasta shape that you like. Some other good options include penne, rotini, or bow-tie pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold up well in the salad.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen or canned vegetables in a pinch.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all of the flavors of the salad together. Make sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add some fresh herbs and spices to taste.
