For an extra layer of flavor, toast pecans and sprinkle over the salad before serving. Fresh dill sprigs make a lovely garnish. If desired, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier and lighter option. Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package instructions for the perfect al dente texture.
