Toss everything gently until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Refrigerate the salad for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors blend and to serve it nicely chilled.

Tips

Cook the pasta until just al dente, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and keep it firm.

Toss the vegetables gently to keep them crisp and crunchy.

Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for an extra burst of freshness.

Sprinkle a little extra mixed herbs or chopped coriander on top for a vibrant finish.
