Notes

Skip any of the veggies you don't like. Not a fan of tomatoes or green onions? Don't use them!
You could also add in other add ins. Other delicious ideas include chopped bell peppers, grilled zucchini, or fresh chopped cilantro.
To make this ahead of time, mix everything together except for the chips and cheese and store it covered in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Then just prior to serving, stir the pasta salad to bring the dressing back together again and stir in the chips and cheese.
