MEXICAN INSPIRED NO-MAYO MACARONI AND CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Dressing -- In a small bowl, add the salsa, sour cream, lime juice and zest, cilantro, cumin, pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate. NOTE: I start out with 1/2 cup salsa, and 6 tablespoons of sour cream. You can always add more once you dress the salad.
• Pasta -- Simply cook in good salted water according to package directions.
• Vegetables -- In a large bowl, add the chopped green and red pepper, onion and scallions.
• Toss -- Once the past is done, drain and this is one time where I actually rinse my pasta under cold water. Drain well. Add to the bowl with the vegetables and add the dressing and the cheese. Toss well. You can add a bit more sour cream and salsa if necessary. Taste for seasoning and add any more salt and pepper if needed. And remember - this is not a creamy mayo type of salad. This is a healthier light version so there is not as much dressing.
• Serve -- ENJOY!
