making food ahead

How far in advance is it safe to make pasta salad? Should veggies be added right before serving or can they be added ahead (with the exception of tomatoes). Just using bottled italian dressing.

How far in advance could I make jello jigglers. Will they keep for a couple of days or are they best made the day before?

Make the pasta up to 2 days ahead and use a sturdy pasta such as rotini, bowties; save with an olive oil rinse. Add the fixings day of.

Jello gets tough if made more than 24 hours before...
