Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The pasta salad will keep well for up to 3 days. If the pasta seems dry after sitting, you can add a little more mayonnaise or a splash of water to rehydrate it before serving again. Make sure to cook the pasta al dente to hold its shape well. Feel free to swap out the lunch meats for your favorites, add veggies like cucumbers or bell peppers, or use Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
