For best results, allow the pasta salad to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, cucumber, or cherry tomatoes. If you don't have roasted red peppers on hand, you can use a jarred variety or substitute with sun-dried tomatoes for a similar flavor profile. To lighten up the dressing, you can substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
