Categories     Salad

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 17

16 ounces rotini pasta
1 pound boneless chicken breasts (cooked and cubed)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
4.25 ounces olives (sliced)
14 ounces corn (drained)
½ red onion (diced)
15 ounces black beans (rinsed and drained)
15 ounces pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
1 ounce taco seasoning mix
4 ounces Colby Jack Cheese (cubed)
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
3 Tablespoons salsa
½ cup buttermilk
1 ounce fiesta Ranch dip seasoning

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions on package.
  • While pasta is cooking, mix together (in a VERY large bowl) the cooked chicken, bell peppers, tomatoes, olives, corn, onion, black beans, pinto beans, and taco seasoning.
  • After pasta is finished cooking, mix it into the bowl with other ingredients (do not add cheese at this point because the hot pasta has a tendency to melt it, so wait to add the cheese until the pasta has completely cooled down).
  • In a separate bowl, mix together dressing ingredients and fold into pasta/vegetable mixture. Stir until all ingredients are coated with dressing.
  • Fold in cheese at this time and place in the fridge. I prefer to eat this after it has been in the fridge for at least 2-4 hours, but it tastes even better after staying in the fridge overnight.

MEXICAN FIESTA SALAD

"I was making a Mexican themed dinner one night last summer, and figured I'd make a salad with the fresh produce I had. I threw in anything that reminded me of Mexican food. Thankfully, it turned out, and the combination of salsa and ranch dressing is one we now use on sandwiches burgers and more, " writes Heather Byers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
