This was delicious. I made it for a picnic and everyone enjoyed it. I only used 3/4 Tb. of chili powder since I was afraid a full Tb would be too much. It was the perfect amount of flavor. I used a small can of slice olives too instead of the big one. This is a change of pace from generic pasta salad and was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

YUM!!! I omitted the olives & green chilies, added a yellow bell pepper, a little extra cilantro & some mixed greens and it was extra delicious! Almost had a thai-salad type taste. Will definitely be making again

This is the best pasta salad I've had in a long time. My partner and I almost ate the entire bowl without even chilling it. I look forward to making this a staple in my household. The only thing that I didn't use was the green chilies, but I substituted it with banana peppers for extra zing without being too spicy. Excellent recipe!

I love this recipe and have made it several times. Great side dish for a BBQ or potluck. I like to add both black and green olives, but other than that I think it is perfect "as is."

I've made this a couple of times for potluck BBQs and everyone liked it. I used a red onion and yellow pepper for a little more color, and it makes a lot of the dressing so the second time I used 3 cups of dry pasta instead of 2 and there was still plenty of dressing to coat everything well.

Very good! Especially for us ADD chefs :) It's got alot going on with all the different ingredients but a good blend. I have made this several times and it's easy to change for fussy eaters.
