Mexican Pasta Salad….
Mexican Pasta Salad is one of our new family favourites - it's super easy to make and easy to adapt to whatever you have in the house that needs using up...Last Summer, I made the most amazing homemade potato salad (pretty sure I called it the best you'd ever taste at the time and I still stand by that) and a couple of weeks ago, I decided to use the same mix of mayo and sour cream on some cold leftover pasta.

I'm going to share it anyway...Last year, I took the kids to New York in February and on the day we left, it started to snow.
