Southern Pasta Bean Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 cups small seashell pasta
  • 1/3 cup Italian-style salad dressing
  • salt to taste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Fill a large pot with water that has been lightly seasoned with salt, then bring it to a vigorous boil. Introduce the pasta into the pot and continue boiling until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pasta from the pot and drain it in cold water; transfer it to a large serving container.
2
Combine the dressing ingredients with the pasta, adding a pinch of salt for flavor. Add the pinto and black beans to the mixture, followed by corn, diced tomatoes, a sprinkle of cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and a few flakes of pepper. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring everything together until it's well combined.
3
Place the salad in a refrigerator-safe container and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
