Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water, then add the pasta and corn (only if using ears of corn). Cook the corn for a minute and 30 seconds, then remove from the pot and set aside. Once cool enough, cut corn off the cob. Cook pasta until it is al dente, about 9 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop it from cooking, then drain well.
- Meanwhile, add the dressing ingredients to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- To a big bowl, add the cooked pasta, bell pepper, red onion, corn, cilantro and cilantro chili lime dressing. Mix everything together well then top with cotija cheese. Serve with your favorite protein and enjoy!
