Notes
Make Ahead: You have two options to make this pasta salad ahead of time. You can make it up without the dressing and store the dressing separately, then mix just before serving or you can make it with the dressing and store the lettuce separately, adding it just before serving. The lettuce will become soggy if left sitting in the dressing so either way prevents that from happening.
