Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it down.

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the vegetables, meat, cheese, and herbs of your choice.

Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. You can use the dressing recipe I provided earlier or any other dressing recipe of your choice.

Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss everything together until well combined.

Refrigerate the salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve: Take the pasta salad out of the refrigerator and give it a good stir before serving. You can garnish it with extra herbs or cheese if desired.
