This is a WONDERFUL recipe! I've made it twice now, once at Christmas and once for a wedding shower. The yield is very large so I would recommend cutting the ingredients (at least the pasta for sure) in half if you aren't planning to serve it to more than 15 people. I also wouldn't recommend skimping on the mayo to use a generic brand. It's a little more expensive to use a higher quality mayo but you can taste the difference! If you need to skimp on cost of ingredients I'd go with generic pasta, kidney beans, cheese and salsa. But this is a great salad and I've received so many complements. It's also easy to make it a day ahead of time and just keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve! Or cook the pasta and cut up the ingredients and then throw everything together an hour or two before your event. Enjoy!
