This Mexican Pasta Salad might be my favorite of all my pasta salad recipes. The homemade Greek yogurt, taco seasoning and salsa dressing is literally the best. Perfect as a meal or side dish. High in protein and fiber.

Mix all the dressing ingredients together and then mix the dressing with the remaining ingredients. Top with crunched chips. Enjoy!
