CORN AND BLACK BEAN MACARONI SALAD - TEX MEX



Corn and Black Bean Macaroni Salad - Tex Mex image

Chill a beer for this nice and spicy dish! The elbows should be cooked al dente in well salted water to prevent broken mushy noodles. Do salt the water liberally. (2 teaspoons is not a lot once mixed with the rest of the ingredients) Seasons the pasta and avoids father salting in the recipe. This can be eaten as a side or a main balanced meal. I opted for yogurt and smart balance for better health. But you can use sour cream and mayo.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed and drained.
  • To make the black beans easier to digest, soak them in water for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help to remove some of the oligosaccharides, which are a type of sugar that can cause gas and bloating.
  • If you don't have any chili powder, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you are using Greek yogurt, you may want to add a little bit of honey or agave nectar to sweeten it.
  • You can add other vegetables to this salad, such as chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, or cucumbers.
  • This salad is best served cold. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
