Unbelievably simple but delicious Mexican-style eggs! You can make a brunch fit for a king by adding sausage to it. Add some sour cream or taco sauce on top, if you’d like.

Simple and easy to find ingredients
only added some (mozz pearls) cheese. we like cucumbers, tomatoes and (tri-color) pasta – so perfect for our family. salt & pepper to taste.
Delicious and very easy…I used a spicy Italian dressing and it was delicious!
The new favorite recipe! Not only mine because it is easy but everyone who ate it loved it!
Good taste with a light flavor that isn’t heavy on the stomach. I like this more than most other pasta salads. Needs some meat though.
I did not add onions and it still tastes good
I used vegetable rotini and I also added some shredded chicken and some French fried jalapeños and substituted French fried onions instead of using diced onions to give it a nice crunch, will definitely make again!
As described, easy and delicious. I added a can of tuna for protein.
Wow! Easy and delicious. Modified recipes: Added bits of mozzarella and replaced the white onion with a red onion. Did not use olives.
Easy and tasty! A great Summer side dish.
I also added celery. This is my” go to salad” for all occasions.
Standard recipe, but missing one critical ingredient: grated parmesan cheese. About 1/2 cup. Suggestions: Minus one cucumber add one yellow pepper, diced.
Have made this several times. A go to when in the mood for pasta salad. I added precooked broccoli flowerettes too. Crowd pleaser either way!
Super easy, super lite!
Love it!
I’ll make this again for sure! Great recipe. I used balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil in place of the Italian dressing, and I added chicken which I cooked with the onion and some garlic powder to taste. It turned out really well.
Great simple salad. We like to make pasta salad a meal, so I added cubed cheese and sliced salami. I used zesty Italian dressing and changed up the vegetables a bit to my liking.
Turned out great.
I didn’t use the whole 1/2 yellow onion so I cut that back just a little bit. I added more of the tomato’s and olives. Can’t have enough of those! I added Banana Pepper’s and (1) stem of celery as well. It was delish!! I will be making it again next week!
This is a good base recipe. I added fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. It’s easy to make. I’ll definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe!
I love this recipe and have made it several times now. I’m vegan, so I just follow the recipe as it is and use a homemade Italian dressing. I love to make it in advance and take it to work throughout the week, because it’s one of those recipes that gets better throughout the week. Will definitely make this over and over again.
