Yes. You should definitely rinse your pasta if you are making a pasta salad. There are two reasons for this. The first being is that rinsing the pasta with cold water will stop the pasta from cooking further even after you have drained it. Also, it will prevent you from having sticky and mushy pasta salads after you rinse off the starchy liquid on the pasta. You also need to have pasta to be cold to make pasta salads.
If you find that your pasta salads tend to be a bit on the dry side because they absorb all the dressing, then you can add a bit of olive or avocado oil to your pasta and then toss it together before adding the dressing. This will help prevent the pasta from absorbing the dressing to an extent where it feels a bit dry.
