Notes
- If making ahead, reserve some of the dressing to add in right before serving.
- Al dente pasta always works best in a pasta salad, to prevent it from becoming to soft.
- If you prefer, you could use a ranch dressing or a creamy ranch dressing from the grocery store although the dressing in the recipe is so easy and so yummy, you should try it.
- To add some flavor variation, add in some chopped red or green bell peppers, or avocado (add avocado right before serving)
