Tropical Pasta Salad With Creamy Lime Dressing Recipes

CREAMY SUMMER PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, adding a generous tablespoon or so of kosher salt to the water as it cooks. Just before the noodles are done cooking, add the broccoli to the pot. Let the broccoli boil for about 30 seconds and then drain everything into a large colander. Rinse well with cold water.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the bowl and stir well to coat. Add the cucumber, pepper, olives, and onions and stir again. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir again just before serving. Enjoy!

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.
