CREAMY SOUTHWEST RANCH PASTA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a large pot of salted water over high heat. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile chop all necessary ingredients.
• Set out a large salad bowl. Add in the cooked pasta, black beans, tomatoes, corn, chopped bell pepper, onion, cilantro, olives, and jalapeno.
• In a separate bowl (or measuring pitcher) combine the ranch dressing, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well. Then taste, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix the dressing into the pasta salad and gently stir until well coated.
• Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. (Allowing the pasta salad ingredients to rest with the dressing longer creates a better overall flavor.)
