Very easy and delicious! I didn't even bother adding the onion, pepper or salt and pepper and it tastes great. I would recommend however, using the fresh packed salsa found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store instead of the jarred salsa.

So easy! I simplified it even more, using just : fresh salsa (pico de gallo), 1 can black beans, rotini, and some fresh ground black pepper. Everyone loved it!

I would suggest omitting the onion. I added only 1/2 an onion and it was overpowering. Next time I make it I will omit the onion and I might even try adding chicken. Otherwise it is a yummy recipe.

I'm giving this pasta recipe four stars for now, because I used a rice penne, whick texture-wise wasn't that great. I used the remainder of D's Famous Salsa in place of the jarred salsa, omitted the pepper and onion (there was onion in the homemade salsa), and used two heaping spoonfuls of sour cream. I also used Chipotle Cheddar in place of the mexican blend. Taste-wise, I'm sure it would have been ten times better with another type of noodle besides rice noodles. Other than that, I liked how different this pasta salad was from others I've made.

I used the refrigerated salsa as suggested . I also omitted the onion and green pepper. The salad was just blah for me. I ended up making a cheese sauce from Velveeta and Milk, then adding the leftover salad to make a southwest mac 'n' cheese. My 2 yr old loved it!

Absolutely amazing! I have to say thanks for helping me finally (after 10 years of marriage) find a pasta salad that my husband likes! I did make a few changes....I used Mexican style beans and just left the juice they came in. I added kidney beans & black eyed peas. Threw in some habanero sauce, a package of jalapeno seasoning and about 1/4C of left over sour cream, just to get it out of the fridge. We'll be making this one over and over.
