Cucumber Cilantro Pasta Salad
"So cool and refreshing, perfect for those warm summer days. If you like spicy, you can add 1-2 tsp chopped jalapeno. By cutting the cucumber in squares in lieu of slicing, the salad remains crisp. This pasta salad is perfect for outdoor parties, this is a no mayonnaise salad."
