Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Stored properly in the refrigerator, this salad will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you’re planning to enjoy it later, we recommend keeping any delicate toppings, like herbs or extra cheese, separate and adding them just before serving.
Using al dente pasta is essential because it holds its shape and texture better when mixed with the other ingredients and stored. Overcooked pasta can become mushy, which impacts the overall quality of the salad.
