Cook the pasta as per the package instructions in salted water to enhance the flavor. Once done, let it cool slightly and drizzle with a bit of oil to prevent it from sticking together.
For the dressing, either blend all the ingredients until smooth or simply shake them together in a sealed jar.
Combine all the pasta salad ingredients in a large bowl.
Drizzle about three-fourths of the prepared dressing over the salad and toss well. Reserve the remaining dressing to freshen up any leftovers.
Store the pasta salad in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. For optimal flavor, it’s best enjoyed the day after it’s made.
Note: The amount of salt seems high, but it’s crucial for balancing the flavors. Adjust to your preference.
