For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or parsley. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add an extra teaspoon of white wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to the dressing. To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, ensure the pasta and peas are thoroughly drained before combining the ingredients. This salad can be prepared a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen even further. Just give it a good stir before serving.
