Preparation
First cook the pasta then cool it in the fridge
(hot pasta seems to diminish the vinegar flavor of the dressing making an oily salad)

Add Ins
Second add all your other ingredients (remember to drain any canned goods)
The only thing that is really required is the Italian dressing I found 1 cup for every pound (or .45 Kilos for you metric types)of uncooked pasta. Also I try not to add the dressing untill about 30 minutes before serving (again to avoid the vinegar taste from disappearing)
