For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing. Feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking. Diced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or black olives would make excellent additions. Smoked paprika is recommended for a deeper, richer flavor, but regular paprika can be substituted if needed. Ensure the pasta is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery salad. If preparing in advance, consider adding the dressing closer to serving time to maintain the pasta's texture.
