For the best flavor, allow the pasta salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Use a high-quality Italian-style salad dressing for the most authentic taste. Consider making your own homemade vinaigrette for an extra special touch. Feel free to customize the salad with other vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or artichoke hearts. If you don't have ciliegine mozzarella balls, you can use a larger fresh mozzarella and cut it into small cubes. Taste the salad before adding all of the dry salad dressing mix, as the amount needed may vary depending on your preference.
