Donât have a garden? You can still serve up luscious Southwest flavor all year long with this colorful, quick pasta salad from Marguerite Shaeffer in Sewell, New Jersey. âItâs an excellent salad for picnics since thereâs nothing to sour,â she points out. And you can mix it ahead for convenience, then toss with dressing just before serving. Ingredients:

1 can (15 to 16 ounces) kidney or black beans, rinsed and drained |

3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:

2. Place the pasta and corn in a large bowl; add the beans, yellow pepper, tomatoes, onion and olives. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, cilantro, cumin, oil, salt and pepper. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 10 servings.
