Zesty Italian Pasta Salad

My go-to pasta salad recipe for events & parties. It’s easy, has so much flavor, you have options for making it higher in protein, and it’s packed with veggies. As with 95% of my recipes, it’s perfect to make ahead on a Sunday and eat throughout the week! It gets better and better as the dressing has a chance to marinate.
