For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar to the dressing. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Diced bell peppers, cucumbers, or cherry tomatoes would be delicious additions. If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can substitute some of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream. This pasta salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
