Notes

🥶 Cook pasta firmly al dente and rinse it immediately with cold water to prevent a mushy texture after chilling.
⏳ Let the salad marinate overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor absorption and a richer taste.
🌿 Always finish with fresh dill sprigs and an extra drizzle of pickle juice right before serving to brighten the dish.
