I made this recipe for SOB and everyone loved it! I served it cold because it was easier that way but you can serve it hot or cold. It's a different take on pasta salad, more of a southwest feel to it. I put some substitutes or suggestions in parenthesis for you. You could also add cilantro to this dish if it floats your boat.
