I like to make more than I need and store the leftovers in the refrigerator for ready made meals. It's easy to make but a little putsy with all the chopping and cutting. Yet the rule when making pasta salad is that anything goes. If you want to throw in extra ingredients to clean out the fridge, go for it! This blend of tangy-sweet dressing and spicy Old El Paso ingredients is a perky delight to the palate.
