How To Make The Finest Pasta Salad
- Prepare dinner pasta in accordance with bundle instructions, in salted water for extra taste. Permit to chill barely and toss with a bit of oil to stop sticking.
- Mix up the dressing, or shake collectively in a jar.
- Toss all components collectively! I like to make use of about three-fourths of the dressing, after which I save the remainder of the dressing so as to add to my leftovers.
- Preserve within the fridge for 2-3 days. I believe it really tastes finest the day AFTER you make it.
