Make sure to allow your pasta to cool completely before mixing it with the other ingredients to avoid wilting the fresh veggies. Using high-quality mayonnaise can elevate the flavor of the dressing significantly. Feel free to customize the salad by adding your favorite ingredients, such as avocado or shredded cheese.
