Notes
- I prefer this homemade creamy Italian dressing for this salad. It has a TON of flavor and is really easy to make. If you are short on time, you can use your favorite bottled Italian dressing. Make sure to get a good quality dressing as the flavor of the dressing will greatly impact the flavor of your salad.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prep ahead, cook pasta and store in the fridge in cold water. Prep all ingredients and store separately. When ready to serve, drain the pasta and then mix with remaining ingredients.
