A refreshing and vibrant pasta salad with a zesty lime dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and cools it down for the salad.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, chopped cilantro, sugar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Adjust the seasoning of the dressing to your taste before combining it with the salad.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced cucumber, chopped roma tomato, and finely sliced red onion.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the pasta for a balanced flavor.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables, and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the pasta or mashing the vegetables.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
