Ingredients

1 package farfalle pasta 16 oz.
1 can black beans 15 oz., drained and rinsed
1 can corn 15.25 oz., drained
3 Roma tomatoes diced
1 large avocado diced
3 whole green onions finely chopped
1/4 cup onion finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro chopped
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese opt., crumbled

Dressing:

1 cup jarred salsa
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 clove garlic minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
1 lime juiced

Instructions

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.
