Southwest Pasta Salad

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse well to cool.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, combine the onion, tomatoes, pepper, corn, and olives in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the vegetables, and pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables. Stir until all of the ingredients are well coated. Sprinkle cilantro over the pasta and stir again. Cover with a lid and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Add avocado and cheese right before serving and gently stir.
