FIESTA PASTA SALAD

So Doug found this recipe of Cooks.com. He made it for Guinness's 9th birthday party. It was a hit. I think this because one of our friends actually picked up the bowl later in the night, and ate all of it (after everyone else had some). So there were no left overs.

I put it through WeWa to determine the points.
