Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions, preferably tender. When it's done cooking, rinse with cold water and pour in a large serving bowl or container.
• Rinse and drain the black beans and edamame.
• Thaw the corn (and edamame).
• Mix the corn, edamame, and black beans together with the pasta.
• Make the dressing by putting all the dressing ingredients in a blender (except the sesame seeds) and pulse until fully mixed.

• Pour the completed dressing over the pasta, and let chill for about 45 minutes-1 hour then serve. Lasts about 4-5 days fresh and great for brown-bagging lunch; and if your workplace lacks a fridge, don't fear due to the lack of dairy products!
