Notes
Although the refrigeration is not entirely necessary, you can eat it right away, it does add extra flavors and helps the whole pasta salad marry together nicely.
Make sure to drain and rinse the pasta before it becomes overcooked. You're also washing away excess starch too, which would make it stick together.
