Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions just until al dente. (You can chop your salad ingredients while the pasta is cooking.) Drain, rinse with cold water then toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent it from sticking together.

Step 2

Add the pasta and all of the pasta salad ingredients to a large bowl.

Step 3

Whisk all of the Creamy Salsa Ingredients together in a bowl.

Step 4

Pour half of the dressing over the pasta salad and toss to combine (or all of the dressing if serving immediately). Refrigerate pasta salad and remaining dressing separately until ready to use (best served the same day). When ready to serve, toss with remaining dressing. Season with salt, cayenne pepper and lime juice to taste. Dig in!
