I made this pasta salad today and it was delicious!! 
I made a few changes; 
12 ozs of bow tie pasta, not one pound; 
1 juiced lime, not 2; 
1/4 cup cilantro, not 1/3; 
omitted jalapeño pepper and used “hot” taco mix. 

KEEPER!!

The yogurt made the dressing sort of gritty and definitely too tart, even bitter.  It overpowered the other dressing ingredients.  In my opinion, it ruined the dressing and therefore the salad.  If you make this salad I suggest a substitution for the yogurt...maybe even an off-the-shelf southwestern salad dressing.

My first time trying this pasta salad and it amazing, I never did it before a lot of cutting and mixing but it was worth it ..  I’m also doing pasta salad but not with all of these ingredients,

Really disappointing. The greek yogurt base just didn't work well with the flavors, and overall wasn't great. I made less pasta than it called for with a full recipes' worth of dressing, and it still ended up too dry. Definitely wouldn't make again.

Just tried this, I read the reviews 1st and took into account the comments saying the flavor was bland and the salad was dry. I used twice the garlic and made the mistake of putting the avocado ( I only had one but halved the recipe) in the dressing! I was in a hurry and read the instructions too fast. Well....... it’s absolutely delicious! I did change a few things, I used 1 Tbs of taco seasoning and 1/2 Tbs of smoked chipotle powder and made the full amount of dressing for 1/2 the recipe. I only used a little more than 1/2 the dressing so I’m saving it for quesadillas tomorrow, it’s delicious, really.

This salad was terrible.  Made as written, except I omitted avocado.  Cilantro overpowered everything and it had an odd texture.  Took it to a potluck and no one ate more than a spoonful.   I threw the leftovers away!

This salad was much better the day after making it; letting the dressing settle made a difference. I used grilled corn on the cob in place of the canned corn. I also added crushed Dorito's once served. I will make again and serve the next day.

This was a delicious twist on a salad. Loved the flavors.

This is amazing!!!! I am definitely adding to my summer recipe collection.

Making this tomorrow  for a potluck I'm attending over the weekend. The recipe is easy and looks really yummy. Can't wait to try it and share it with friends.🍜

Add 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to small mixing bowl. Mix until ingredients are well blended, then cover ribs with dry rub on all sides.

This is a delicious recipe. I used dried cranberries the 1st time I made it and a container of Oui apple cinnamon yogurt with 1/2 the mayo. I omitted the sugar. Everyone loved it! 
The 2nd time I made it I added red grapes, halved, maple syrup in place of sugar, and Noosa vanilla bean yogurt. Again, the flavors are sensational. I wish I had some sharp cheddar cheese to cube! Yum! 😋

Making like my Mother’s. Brings back memories.
