PASTA SALAD + MUSTARD DRESSING
This pasta salad is one of my favorite go-to meals. The creamy, almost drinkable dressing makes every bite so satisfying, and it’s perfect for meal prep or using up leftover pasta. I also love how versatile it is—throw in whatever veggies you have in the fridge, and it still tastes amazing. It’s fresh, colorful, and keeps really well for a couple of days.
