I found this while I was looking for a recipe to take to a work picnic. I really didn't know how I was going to feel about mayo and salsa together, but I thought this looked so easy cheap and quick that I couldn't pass it up, and I'm really glad I didn't! I got a lot of compliments, and I'm glad that I set some back for us to eat at home because we really enjoyed this! Thanks for posting!

This was a delicious alternative to the old fashioned pasta salad. I made it to bring on vacation with a crowd and it recieved rave reviews. The first time I made it I measured everything exactly but after that I realized it's a very easy recipe to just "wing". You can't make a wrong move here. The tastes are Mexican but very subtle. ENJOY!
