Tuesday's Recipe Swap ~ Southwest Pasta Salad

I decided to try out a new pasta salad recipe for our Memorial Day pool party and it went perfect with the hot food off the grill.



Ingredients

1 box of rotini pasta, cooked
1/4 cup of light mayo
1 and 1/2 tsp. of chili powder
1/2 tsp. of salt
1 can of corn, drained
1 can of black beans, drained
1 lime
1 pint of cherry tomatoes

Directions

Boil pasta for 9-10 minutes, drain and allow to cool
In a bowl, combine the mayo, the juice of a fresh lime, chili powder, and salt.
Add the cooked pasta and the rest of the ingredients and mix well until combined.
Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Refrigerate any leftovers *makes a great lunch the next day*.

  9. Looks delicious!! I love that the protein from the beans will balance out the carbs from the pasta at least a little bit!!
