  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta salad hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for artichokes, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this pasta salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
