Tropical Pasta Salad Recipes

TROPICAL PASTA SALAD WITH CREAMY LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Place a pot filled with water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Follow the directions on the box of Ronzoni® Homestyle™ Penne Pasta to achieve the perfect al dente pasta. When the pasta is cooked, strain it and set it aside to cool completely.
• While the pasta is boiling, prep the remainder of your ingredients. Open a can of black beans, then drain and rinse them. Canned beans are often my go-to for quick and easy meals. Slice the mango, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeño into bite-sized pieces.
• This creamy lime dressing is super easy to make with the help of a small food processor or blender. Simply add the mayonnaise, olive oil, garlic clove, fresh cilantro, and lime juice to the blender or food processor and pulse until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
• Combine the room temperature penne, black beans, mango, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeño, pour the dressing over it, and toss together.

TROPICAL PASTA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Grab a mixing bowl and combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and Hawaiian marinade. Mix them until they are blended well. Next add in your chopped veggies, pineapple, and cooked macaroni and top it with dressing. Once that is done, you're going to stir it until it's well combined and coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
