This salad is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I always have leftover pasta in my fridge, so this salad is a lifesaver.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts for a little extra flavor.

I made this salad with grilled asparagus instead of raw asparagus, and it was even better! The grilled asparagus added a smoky flavor that really complemented the strawberries.
