Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pasta salad recipe ahead?
Of course! I actually think it tastes better after some time in the fridge because the pasta will have absorbed more of the dressing and flavors. I would just add the lettuce before serving.
Can I use gluten free pasta?
Any pasta shape of your choice will work here, gluten-free or regular!
