  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried rotini pasta
  • 1.5 cups medium chunky salsa
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (11 ounce) can canned whole-kernel corn with red and green bell peppers
  • 1 (4.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking, combine salsa, mayonnaise, sour cream, and bell pepper in a large bowl. Add black beans, corn, olives, green onions, salt, garlic powder, cumin, cilantro, and pepper; whisk until well combined.
  • Drain pasta, then rinse under cold running water until completely cooled. Drain again thoroughly.
  • Add cooled pasta to the salsa-vegetable mixture and stir until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours before serving.
