Instructions

Cook pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain in colander then rinse with cold water.
In a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients, add pasta and toss to combine.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

After you’ve chilled the salad, let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes before serving it. Ice cold pasta salad is okay, but letting it warm up a little is even better!
I don’t recommend freezing this Italian pasta salad so if you want to make it ahead plan to do that a day in advance. Allow it to sit overnight and the flavors will develop even more.
If you have leftovers and they dry out a little just add a little more Italian dressing to it, toss and serve. You can also leave some of the dressing off if you make it ahead of time and add it right before serving so it doesn’t have the chance to soak it all in.
