I always head to the cold pasta salad counter in restaurants but have never made it at home. Will surely try it. Can the sauce be made and stored in the refrigerator?

How do you come up with absolutely amazing ideas? I run out of them and I have a problem serving my kids the resto type of food. Pasta is something that my kids love and this version of them might love it too.
