Tips
Feta cheese, goat cheese, or fresh mozzarella are great options to add creaminess to your salad. All you have to do is crumble or cube the cheese and toss it in with the pasta and vegetables.
If you want the salad to be more filling, consider adding protein sources like grilled chicken cubes, cooked shrimp, or canned tuna
When combining the ingredients, be as gentle as you can. Otherwise you run the risk of breaking the pasta.
Feel free to get creative with the ingredients. Add nuts, eggs, dried fruits, or anything that you typically enjoy in your salad.
Make sure not to overcook the pasta. If the texture of the pasta is mushy, it won’t taste good. So be careful about that.
