Notes

For softer texture, dress pasta while slightly warm. For firmer texture, chill pasta first. Freeze extra dressing only; fresh herbs darken after thawing. Toss gently during assembly to keep vegetables crisp. Add basil, spinach, chickpeas, or toasted seeds for flavor changes. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
