This pasta salad stood out to me because it doesn't call for mayonnaise. Instead, Irvine uses a homemade dressing made with apple cider vinegar, garlic, dried herbs, stone-ground mustard ...
Once made, this dish will keep covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. You could a few tablespoons of good mayonnaise, if you wanted a creamy pasta salad.
You'll also want to carefully consider how to dress your potsticker pasta salad. In most cases, thicker, mayo-based coatings, and thinner, vinegar-type blends will perform interchangeably well.
