For a richer flavor, consider using olive oil instead of margarine in the dressing. Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preferences and what's in season. Bell peppers, corn, or cherry tomatoes would be delicious additions. If you prefer a less tangy dressing, reduce the amount of cider vinegar slightly. Make sure the dressing is completely cooled before pouring it over the pasta and vegetables to prevent wilting. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
