  3. Put the cooked pasta, 160 g Sweetcorn, 120 g Black beans, 45 g Pickled jalapenos, 1 teaspoon Chipotle paste, 0.5 teaspoon Cumin, 0.5 teaspoon Paprika, 1 Green bell pepper, 1 Red bell pepper, 15 g Fresh coriander (cilantro), 100 g Feta and 1 Avocado into a bowl and mix well.

Notes

  • If you want to add some extra protein to this, and make it more of a whole meal rather than a BBQ side, then add some leftover chicken or grilled salmon. Leftovers from our Slow Cooker Whole Chicken work well in this.
  • You could swap the chipotle baed dressing for an Italian one if you prefer.
