FIESTA PASTA SALAD WITH DILL PICKLES

This dill pickle pasta salad salad has so many different colors that it looks as though there is confetti in it. There is a thousand variations to this salad! My mother adds ham and asparagus to it. I usually use tri-colored pasta in this salad to add even more color. Also I serve green onions on the side. All my friends and family love this so much. I don't think I would be invited on our annual family camping trip if I didn't bring this salad.

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and stir in frozen corn. The heat from the pasta will defrost the corn and the corn will cool the pasta. Stir in salsa. Add beans, black olives, tomatoes, cilantro and cheese to pasta mixture and toss well.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to blend well. Refrigerate until time to serve.
  • 3. *** This tastes best when you can refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend together.

12 oz bow-tie pasta, uncooked
10 oz frozen corn
1 1/2 c salsa
1 c black beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
1 c cannelini beans, canned (drained and rinsed)

FIESTA CHICKEN PASTA SALAD

I came up with this a few years back when pasta salad was requested for a potluck. It is very flexible. You can use your favorite pasta, alter the amount of veggies, substitute red pepper for green, add black olives, or whatever. Use your imaginaton and enjoy! Prep time does not include refrigeration time. NOTE: If you have trouble finding Fiesta Ranch Dip Mix, use Recipe #134253. It makes a large batch, you just need 2 or 3 tablespoons.

MEXICAN FIESTA SALAD

"I was making a Mexican themed dinner one night last summer, and figured I'd make a salad with the fresh produce I had. I threw in anything that reminded me of Mexican food. Thankfully, it turned out, and the combination of salsa and ranch dressing is one we now use on sandwiches burgers and more, " writes Heather Byers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
