Also, if you can, make it the night before or allow the pasta to refrigerate for 4-5 hours.

In addition, make sure to cook the pasta as the package says to avoid it getting soggy and mushy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do you keep the pasta salad from absorbing the dressing?

Pasta is made of starch, so it absorbs water and liquid very fast. You can toss or add some oil to your pasta to reduce liquid absorption.

Should I put cold water on pasta?

Yes. It is a great idea to wash the pasta with cold water after moving it off the heat. That will guarantee your pasta not sticking together.
