Mexican Pasta Salad Recipe
Summer is finally here. When I think of summer recipes, I want something simple, but yummy. Mexican dishes are a family favorite of ours, especially this Mexican Pasta Salad Recipe.
Using some of your favorite ingredients, you can whip this dish up in no time.
Whether you’re making this for Cinco de Mayo or you’re just trying to spice up your current stock of Mexican Recipes, this dish will quickly become a family favorite. It makes an excellent side dish for barbeques this summer as well.
This Mexican Pasta Salad has already been my go-to dish for get-togethers and it’s only been summer for a few weeks. I love nothing more than using fresh ingredients that are REAL.
Without a doubt, you know what’s in this pasta salad. Your taste buds know it too!
This recipe makes enough to serve your family, but you will also have some leftovers. Is there anything better than having something like this a second time?
I think not! In fact, I love to pair the Mexican Pasta Salad with a Moscow Mule Margarita or a Mexican Strawberry Mojito. Both make a fabulous pair.
