Tips & Variations:
Best pasta choices: Rotini, penne, bowtie, or macaroni work best as they hold the dressing well. Avoid long pastas like spaghetti or tagliatelle.
Dressing customization: Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt for a creamy texture, or swap white wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar for a milder taste.
Protein swaps: Try grilled shrimp, tofu, or even chickpeas for a vegetarian alternative.
Make ahead: This salad can be prepped in advance, but add the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh.
