Preparation
After the noodles have cooled, rinse them quickly and ensure they are well drained. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl with the pasta.
In a jar, combine all the ingredients for the lemon poppyseed dressing. Whisk and mix well with a fork. Season to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
