Tips:
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy in the salad.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to use vegetables that are in season.
- Do not overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and greasy.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
