Zest of a lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound penne pasta
Kosher salt

  • Use a variety of colors and textures: This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. For example, you could use red tomatoes, green lettuce, orange carrots, and crispy croutons.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to salad dressing. You could use a simple vinaigrette, a creamy ranch dressing, or a tangy citrus dressing. You could also add herbs, spices, or nuts to your dressing for extra flavor.
  • Make sure your salad is well-dressed: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of your salad together. Make sure to use enough dressing to coat all of the ingredients, but not so much that the salad is soggy.
