Tips:

- Use a variety of nuts in your pasta salad. Walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts all add different flavors and textures.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Feta is a classic choice, but you could also try goat cheese, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- Make sure to season your pasta salad well. A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need, but you can also add herbs, spices, or even a squeeze of lemon juice.
- To save time, you can use rotisserie chicken or canned chickpeas instead of cooking your own.
