For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding some crumbled feta cheese, mini mozzarella balls, or marinated artichoke hearts. Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, add a lovely aroma and visual appeal to the salad. Chop them finely and sprinkle over the top before serving. Adjust the amount of salad dressing to your liking. Some prefer a lighter dressing, while others enjoy a more robust flavor. If you're making this salad ahead of time, you may want to reserve some of the dressing and add it just before serving, as the pasta can absorb the dressing over time.
