  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite (see directions on package)
  2. Drain, then rinse with cold water until cool.
  3. Cut up the tomatoes, onion and cilantro.
  4. Mix in the cold pasta with the vegetable mix.
  5. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until dressing is well mixed.
