Notes
- This dish can be eaten hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, we recommend cooling all cooked ingredients before adding the dressing. Hot noodles will absorb the dressing.
- While that is great when eaten hot, it will create a dryer pasta salad when served cold.
- To grill the veggies, add them to a grill basket after they have been seasoned and grill for 5-10 minutes.
