For the Italian Dressing:

-
1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Lightly blanch asparagus and snap peas in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to preserve color and crunch.
In a bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine cooled pasta, veggies, greens, cheese, and herbs. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.
