MEXICAN PASTA SALAD WITH SALSA

Mexican Pasta Salad With Salsa image

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.

HOT PASTA SALAD

Hot Pasta Salad image

I know that pasta salads have had a bad rap, but I really like them. This one is delicious with fantastic lemon flavor, tuna and crisp veggies. Enjoy! (This recipe uses canned tune. I haven't tried using fresh tuna yet, but I will next time. I think maybe I'll grill it and slice it up, still pink... yum!) Derived from BBC's "Good Food" magazine (March 2007) with some variations.

The tri-colored pasta along with the variety of vegetables, pepperoni, cheeses and spices is what makes this pasta salad out of this world. Great to take to a BBQ on those warm summer nights. This salad tastes wonderful right after you make it, but is best served the day after.
