southwest potato salad

I had a large bag of red potatoes to use up and I wanted something different than regular potato salad. This potato salad had a nice kick from the salsa and the flavor really went well with the rest of the ingredients. Hubby had seconds so that must be a good sign. **cook time does not include time spent boiling potatoes.
