  4. Toss all ingredients gently until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

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.
