Southwestern Pasta Salad is a perfect side dish. Everybody loves it. I made it recently and it was the first time I’ve ever used buttermilk in a pasta salad and I was quite impressed.
I love the flavor, just the perfect hint of the salsa. Oh, a generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper for me. I like spicy!
