Southwest Pasta Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
Serves 4
Ingredients
for the pasta salad :
1 box (12 ounces) farfalle pasta
about 2 cups corn salsa, homemade or store bought
1 cup grape tomatoes
crispy tortilla strips, optional
for the Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette :
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
juice from 5 small limes
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Drain and rinse in cool water.
Add the drained pasta to a large bowl, and mix in the corn salsa and
grape tomatoes.
In a small blender or food processor, combine all of the ingredients for
the Cilantro Lime Dressing.
Gently pulse until the cilantro is minced and the dressing is well mixed
and easy to pour over the pasta.
Pour the dressing over the pasta, toss to coat.
Serve immediately topped with the tortilla strips.
* If not serving immediately, pour only part of the dressing over the
pasta, just enough to coat, and then place in the fridge until ready to
serve.
Add the remaining dressing to the pasta and toss to coat right before
serving.
