For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the dressing. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference. Diced avocado or cherry tomatoes would make great additions. To prevent the pasta from sticking, toss it with a little olive oil after draining. This salad is best served chilled, but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
