MEXICAN PASTA SALAD
This is a quick, easy, and refreshing dinner that I think is pretty healthy (contains veggies and fiber and can be made pretty low in fat). Although I did get the original recipe from the Moosewood Low Fat Favorites cookbook, I have altered this recipe through the years to meet our tastes. The best thing about this recipe is it can be altered to use whatever crisp veggies you have on hand and whatever spices you prefer. This recipe is also great as a leftover so do not be afraid to make ahead and store in your fridge.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta (al dente) During approximately the last 2 minutes of cooking time, add the corn.
- While the pasta/corn mixture is cooking, combine all other ingredients (except for the cheese) in a large bowl.
- Drain the pasta and corn.
- Rinse the pasta and corn in cold water until the mixture is cool or cold.
- Add the pasta/corn mixture to the other ingredients and mix.
- Before serving, sprinkle mixture with shredded cheese.
- (OPTIONAL) If you are vegan, do not complete this step.
- *Please note, I have also added other vegetables, such as fresh and frozen chopped broccoli (add to pasta cooking process like the corn), fresh chopped cauliflower, etc.
- You can also add cooked, diced or chopped chicken (great for leftovers).

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water. Rinsing with cold water will help prevent it from sticking together. Set aside and allow to cool and dry completely. When dry, add the beans, corn, tomatoes, green onions, onion and cilantro. In a separate bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and add to pasta mixture.
- Stir together until everything is evenly coated in sauce. You can either stir the Feta cheese into the salad or use it as a garnish on top. Taste and adjust any ingredients as needed. Refrigerate until ready to use. This is best served on the day it is made. Serves 8-12 people.

MEXICAN PASTA SALAD WITH SALSA
Very different from the other pasta salads already posted here. Got this from makesameal.com. Very simple to make with few ingredients. You could get creative and add more ingredients like corn, beans, and olives but this is a good base. Nice for the warmer weather. We loved this. I used Miracle Whip, which I like better in this salad, and 2 cloves garlic for mine. Mild salsa goes down better with my kids but use a stronger one if you like.
