- To a small jar add all the dressing ingredients (1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons whole grain or Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and Kosher salt and pepper). Shake well to emulsify, then pour over the salad.

Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The pasta will continue to absorb the dressing as it sits, so you may need to refresh the salad with a bit more olive oil.
- You may swap the crab meat with cooked shrimp.
