You are in for an absolute delight today. Mexican Spicy Bean & Pasta Salad is such a delightful recipe that is perfect to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Cinco de Mayo = May the 5th

Literally, it means that ⇑. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. [wikipedia]

In the States, the date has become associated with the celebration of Mexican American culture.

And for me MAY THE 5TH is important because it marks the day I got married to the most amazing man on the earth. If nothing else, he knows how to make me laugh. So, cheers to that too !

Something very funny happened yesterday which I would like to share. I was at my hair stylist and was waiting for my turn. Another customer was getting a hair cut and he was all excited to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. The hair stylist asked him very confused – sounds exotic, but what exactly is it? The guy started laughing and said it is May the 5th celebration and Parrrrty Time. She asked more and got enlightened that is a Mexican Festival. They started laughing out loud – We Americans can condemn anybody but when it comes to Parrrty, we are game!

Well that actually stands true. Americans love Partying, any given day. We just love the happy party spirit.

Some Mexican, Tex Mex and Cinco de Mayo Recipes  to try for the weekend party – Spicy Mexican Skillet Potatoes , Caramelized Onions and Black Beans Quesidellas , Tropical Margarita , Vegetable Fajita Platter , Restaurant style Salsa , 22 Festive Mexican Inspired Recipes, as compiled by Tamara of Beyond Mere Sustenance .

It is such a great salad. The tang and spice along with the crunch of fresh ingredients sets the perfect stage for fiesta. You have to try it once to understand what I mean. I promise it will become the favorite salad instantly among your family and friends.

This is how I made it.
