Mexican Pasta Salad With Salsa
"Very different from the other pasta salads already posted here. Got this from makesameal.com. Very simple to make with few ingredients. You could get creative and add more ingredients like corn, beans, and olives but this is a good base. Nice for the warmer weather. We loved this. I used Miracle Whip, which I like better in this salad, and 2 cloves garlic for mine. Mild salsa goes down better with my kids but use a stronger one if you like."

This was a great day salad to serve with fajitas. I did add black beans and corn. i didn't have salsa so I blended a can of Rotel and added the cilantro to the blender. YUM -
We really enjoyed this recipe. I added one ear of cooked corn off the cob - very good. I also tried kidney beans but that wasn't a good idea. Will definitely make this again. I might like to try something crunchy in it. Celery? Any comments on that. -
WONDERFUL!!! I added black beans, chopped cilantro, and sliced olives- then served it with Mexican Hamburgers recipe #53840. My boyfriends friends were over, and it all went over really really well!! LOVE this recipe- deffinately a keeper! Thanks Oolala!! -
Wonderful starter idea for a salad! I wanted to make a main dish, so I added sliced chicken, black beans, olives and corn. Also added about 2 Tbs sour cream, red pepper flakes (for a little more heat) and chopped cilantro to the dressing. then served it with quesadilla triangles. Thanks for posting!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
