Directions
Mexican Pasta Salad, This is a quick, easy, and refreshing dinner that I think is pretty healthy (contains veggies and fiber and can be made pretty low in fat) Although I did get the original recipe from the Moosewood Low Fat Favorites cookbook, I have altered this recipe through the years to meet our tastes The best thing about this recipe is it can be altered to use whatever crisp veggies you have on hand and whatever spices you prefer This recipe is also great as a leftover so do not be afraid to make ahead and store in your fridge , Yum, yum, yum, yum can I say just one more time?-YUM! My family loved this recipe and ate it with every dinner for days! For personal tastes, we switched the black beans with sliced black olives, but it would have been fantastic either way! It was easy to throw together and tasted so fresh and fun (like a fiesta would taste, I assume!) 🙂 We loved the addition of the cheese as well Thanks so much for a new fav to add to the rotation!, Yum, yum, yum, yum can I say just one more time?-YUM!
