It’s been in the mid to upper 90s down here in Ark…and we haven’t felt much like cooking…so it’s been cold sandwiches and salads for lunches and dinners around the Lake House. Cold doesn’t mean boring though…and I LOVE this salad!
Southwest Pasta Salad
1 lb Rotini
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup black beans
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
3 tbsp lime juice
3/4 cup White BBQ sauce
White BBQ Sauce
3/4 cup Mayo
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp horse radish
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Refridgerate for up to 2 days.
Instructions:
Cook pasta & when it’s almost al dente, add corn. Continue to boil until corn is heated through and pasta is done. Drain and rinse with cold water.
While pasta is cooking, combine veggies and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix in lime juice and BBQ sauce. Add pasta and corn and toss to coat evenly.
Oooooh – you just made me hungry! And MY salad (you know, the crappy green lettuce kind) doesn't look nearly as yummy as your salad!
Where are you????? Hope you didn't melt or venture out and get bit by something!! Missing your posts, and I'll be on maternity leave soon (oh well if your writing again I'll find the blog from home too!!)
