🥶 Cool the pasta properly
Rinsing under cold water stops the cooking and gives the salad the right texture.
⏱️ Don’t skip the chill time
At least 30 minutes in the fridge allows the curry and dressing to fully coat every bite.
🥚 Firm hard-boiled eggs
Fully set eggs hold their shape better and keep the salad clean and structured.
🌿 Add herbs last
Stir in the parsley just before serving to preserve freshness and color.
🥗 Adjust before serving
If the salad has been chilled for a while, a small spoonful of dressing brings it back to life.
