Note
For added flavor, toss the salad with a simple vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
This salad tastes even better after sitting for a few hours, as the pasta absorbs the juices from the tomatoes and capers.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or bell peppers for extra crunch and color.
