What quantity of ea ch veggie do i need for this amount of pasta salad, and how much of the bottled dressing? Also i am taking in tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. should i put italian dressing in tonight or wait till tomorrow? Sorry never made this much before

pasta is 2 oz per person uncooked. But you might want to increase or decrease depending other dishes or appetites. It always depends on guessing the crowd.
