Notes

  • You can keep this salad in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This salad is excellent for meal prep as the flavors improve overnight.
  • Farfalle holds the dressing well, but you can use another short pasta shape like rotini or penne.
  • Serve this salad as a main dish or with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.
