- 2 avocados
- lime juice
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing bottled or homemade

Instructions
- Boil pasta according to package directions to "al dente". Drain well and allow to cool. If you are in a hurry, you can rinse in cold water until completely cooled.
- In a large bowl, mix pasta, black beans, corn, and green onions.
- In a separate small bowl blend the ranch dressing and BBQ sauce together.
- Coat the pasta mixture with the dressing, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Just before serving, cut the avocados and sprinkle with lime juice. This will keep the avocados from turning brown.
- Gently stir the avocados and tomatoes into the pasta and serve.

Notes
- Cook the pasta to al dente as directed on the pasta packaging, or even a minute less. The pasta will continue to cook after it has been drained. Do not overcook the pasta.
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl or blend it in a blender before adding to the pasta
- Store your leftover pasta salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
