Mexicali Pasta Salad

I increased this recipe to 40 servings and split it, both a baby shower and a college graduation party on the same day, hours apart, thank goodness! I chopped and mixed everything together the night before. I only made enough for the parties, no extra, very little to sample the next morning, maybe two tablespoons full! 😂😋 and I REALLY like it! My fiance, not so much, he doesn't like onions, especially green onions or pasta 🤔 Im not a big Italian-Style Salad Dressing fan, so, the only change I made was that I used the Dorothy Lynch Style Salad Dressing recipe, per another customer review and suggestion and I like it too. It enhanced the taco seasoning, the black beans, the mexican corn, green onions, so good!!

Turned out fantastic!

I love this recipe! I make is all the time! I usually double it and mix my bell pepper colors up. I went vegan a year ago and make it without the cheese and add arugula to it. Now I fix it once a week and eat it all the time! I like onion so I use red onion and about a 1/4 of one instead of a slice. This dish is awesome!

This is a wonderful recipe! I usually follow the recipe for the first time, then add my own touches to it later. This served as a perfect base recipe. Instead of a package taco seasoning I used a recipe here on allrecipes for the taco seasoning. I also used Queso fresco cheese instead of shredded. It turned out perfect for our Cinco de Mayo family dinner! This is a keeper

Nice flavor change from all the creamy pasta salads. I used Wishbone Zesty Italian. Next time I'm going to try Olive Gardens Italian. If you think you want to make it a meal you could easily add ground beef or chicken. Tasty!
