Tip #1
Mayo-based pasta salads are best the day they're made. If you need to make this a day ahead, reserve half of the dressing and leave off the garnish. Before serving, toss the salad with reserved dressing and top with garnish.
Tip #2
Adjust heat level by using a salsa with your preferred spice level.
