Who would think to put Ro-Tel in a pasta salad? This is very flavorful and filling, and it's a healthier meal that's inexpensive (I think it came with some coupons in the mail). Yum! Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat penne, uncooked |
10 ounces ro-tel tomatoes (and green chilies) |
15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained (ranch style) |
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn |
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, diced |
1/2 cup celery, sliced |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
1/3 cup light italian dressing |
1 orange (peeled and sliced) |
1 avocado, peeled |
lettuce leaf, sliced |
Directions:
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Combine pasta, undrained tomatoes, beans, corn, cheese, celery, and onions in medium bowl.
4. Add dressing and mix well.
5. Cover and refrigerate at least 1hour before serving.
6. Serve pasta salad with orange and avocado slices on lettuce leaves alongside.
