Special request

For Pam O, and others on the Gourmet Texas Pasta Facebook page, here is Mom's cold pasta salad using Zesty Cajun Linguine. (It was called Spicy Cajun until last week, when I realized half of our products were called Spicy or Roasted something or other. I'm a better editor than that, so Zesty Cajun it is!)

Since this is Mom's recipe, I'll let it speak for itself because even as a simple recipe, I can hear my mother's voice in every line and somedays I still need to hear my Mom's voice. 

Enjoy!
