🔪 Cook pasta al dente and rinse with cold water to stop cooking — this prevents a mushy salad.
🥶 Make sure the pasta is completely cool before adding the dressing, or the mayo and sour cream will melt and turn runny.
🌿 Add fresh herbs and any crunchy extras just before serving to keep them vibrant and crisp.
