For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a finely diced red onion or bell pepper. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and red pepper flakes to suit your preferred level of spiciness. This salad is best served cold, allowing the flavors to fully develop. If you like a tangier salad, try adding a splash of lime juice. To avoid a mushy salad, make sure to not overcook your pasta.
