      Hi Brandy, Yes – You can make it a day ahead of time. I think it will be even more flavorful the next day since the ingredients get to marinate overnight. Great question, thank you for asking! –Nicole at Mom Always Finds Out

    Does this really call for 2 CUPS of Italian seasoning? Seems like a lot so just wanted to check. Thanks!

      Hi Kaleen – It’s 2 cups of Italian salad dressing (like the liquid bottled kind). You can start with 1 to 1.5 cups and gradually add more to your taste and liking. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the pasta salad if and when you make it. –Nicole at Mom Always Finds Out
