When I first served this jazzed-up pasta salad for my mom's birthday dinner, it was so well-received that I couldn't wait to make it again! Chose the flavor of salsa to suit your family's taste.
Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked spiral pasta
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
salad dressing:
1 cup ranch salad dressing
1 cup salsa
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse in cold water; drain. In a large salad bowl, combine the pasta, black beans, peppers and onion. Combine the salad dressing, salsa and cayenne. Pour over pasta mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled. Yield: 9 servings.
