I used store bought chunky tomato salsa for the fiesta salad but you can always make that at home for a more refreshing taste.The main twist in the taste was because of celery.I love the strong flavor of celery in salads and soups.If you do not like celery you could skip and still enjoy this fiesta pasta salad.
