Don’t have a garden? You can still serve up luscious Southwest flavor all year long with this colorful, quick pasta salad from Marguerite Shaeffer in Sewell, New Jersey. “It’s an excellent salad for picnics since there’s nothing to sour,” she points out. And you can mix it ahead for convenience, then toss with dressing just before serving.
