Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Cook the pasta a minute less than the pack says; it softens further in the dressing.

If the salad looks dry after standing, loosen it with a squeeze of lemon and a splash of oil.

Pat the cucumber dry so that it does not thin the dressing.

Leftovers

Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add the parsley fresh when you serve.
