Tips & variations
-
Only pasta made from durum wheat is suitable for making salad. Any others simply won't keep their shape.
-
For a salad, you need to choose pasta of the correct shape, such as horns, bows, spirals.
-
It is important to cook pasta properly. You can’t use overcooked products in a salad; it’s better not to overcook a little.
-
Pasta should be boiled in moderately salted water, as after that it will still be washed.
-
Salad can be flavored not only with salt and black pepper, spices will give it a brighter taste.
-
To prevent pasta from sticking together after washing with water, you can add a spoonful of vegetable oil to them and mix.

Olive oil is used for dressing. However, it is permissible to replace it with low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt.
