Notes
Feel free to add any veggies or meats or cheeses that you like to this dish! It is extremely customizable.
Store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days. You may need to add extra dressing after a few days since the pasta will absorb a lot of it.
I do not recommend freezing this as it changes the texture of the pasta and veggies too much.
