Can I use regular pasta instead of gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute any 8-ounce package of your preferred pasta for the gluten-free option; cook according to package directions.

What kind of apples and grapes work best in this salad?

The recipe calls for mixed apples and grapes, so choose your favorite sweet or tart varieties that hold their shape well when chopped, such as Honeycrisp apples and red grapes.

How can I adjust the tanginess of the dressing?

The dressing uses 1/4 of a lemon, squeezed; you can add more or less lemon juice to taste, or even a dash of apple cider vinegar for extra zest.

Can I make this pasta salad ahead of time?

Yes, this salad can be prepared in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and the flavors will meld beautifully.

Are there any other vegetables I could add to this salad?

While the recipe specifies apples, grapes, and celery, you could experiment with other crisp additions like chopped bell peppers or shredded carrots for extra crunch and color.
