Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz macaroni, uncooked
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt
1 (16 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 large red bell pepper , seeds and ribs removed , cut into strips
3/4 cup sliced green onion
1 (2 1/4 oz) can sliced black olives, drained
3/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup tbsps salsa, your favorite
2 tbsp salsa, your favorite
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro , aka coriander

Directions:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain, toss with oil and sprinkle with cumin. Salt to taste and set aside.
The original recipe suggests layering the beans, vegetables, and olives, but I just tossed them all together.
In a small bowl combine mayo, sour cream and salsa. The original recipe suggests you spread this mixture over the top of the pasta like you're frosting a cake but I just mixed it all in together. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill overnight or for several hours.
