Pasta salad with lemon vinaigrette

Pasta salads are fabulous, they give us many possibilities to prepare a dinner or a meal quickly. And, the best thing is that we can leave them prepared in advance or take it in a tupper to the pool or the beach. In this case, we have made a pasta salad with a special lemon-flavored dressing. 

At the end of these salads we can add the ingredients that we like the most. I, specifically to this one, I have put some olives stuffed with anchovy with mojo picón dressing ... and a success because they gave it a very special touch. But you can use black or green olives with more or less seasoning, as long as you like.
