Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 - 3 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ancho chile pepper optional but recommended
Pasta salad
- 1 lb. dried pasta we used fusilli
- 2 oz cans corn drained well
- 1 oz can dark red kidney beans or black beans, drained and rinsed well
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/3 cup diced green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup canned diced green chiles roughly chopped
- 1 large avocado peeled and diced (added before serving)
Instructions
Prepare
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add some salt (amount not included in the recipe - it's up to you).
Make dressing
- As the water is coming up to a boil, in a small mixing bowl, add dressing ingredients, then whisk or stir well to combine.
Boil pasta
- Add dried pasta to boiling water, following package directions for al dente.
- Drain well and let cool a bit.
Assemble salad
- To a large mixing bowl, add cooled pasta, drained corn, drained beans, red onion, green onions, cilantro, and canned chiles. Stir to get everything well combined.
- Pour dressing over the top, and stir well to combine.
Chill
- Cover mixing bowl tightly, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Serve
- To serve, give the salad a stir to redistribute the dressing, then add the diced avocado and some additional cilantro if you'd like.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves approximately 8 people, however feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
- If you'd like a saucier pasta salad, feel free to double the dressing ingredients.
- Any short cut of pasta will work for this recipe (penne, rotini, farfalle, etc).
