Notes

*Or noodles of choice. If using something like spaghetti, cook until al denté, then rinse with cold water to cool them down. See Ingredient Notes for other ideas. Feel free to use the whole box of noodles if you like a more noodle-y salad (that's what's pictured, because that's what Trevor prefers, but I like less noodles). 
**See How to Store for notes on meal-prepping.
