Pioneer Woman Mexican Macaroni Salad image

Found this recipe from Pioneer Woman and I had to try it. It tastes so wonderful ! Fresh and makes so much. I measured out the 12 servings and it came to about 8 ounces or 1 cup per serving. What a great party food this will be. Either served as a salad, or a pasta side, or main course.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb elbow macaroni, Cooked To Package Instructions, Drained, And Rinsed With Cold Water
2 ears fresh corn, Husks And Silks Removed
1/2 cup black olives, Chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (or Kidney Beans )

1 garlic clove, Minced and Pressed
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Grill the corn on a grill pan, or just place it in a hot skillet to brown some of the kernels. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly, then use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob.
  • Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined.
  • Place the macaroni, corn, beans, olives, tomatoes, green onions, red onion, and cilantro (if using) in a large bowl.
  • Pour 3/4 of the dressing over the top and gently toss until all the ingredients are coated. Add the final 1/4 of the dressing if you think it needs it.
  • Cover and allow salad to chill for 2 hours. Garnish with cilantro, lime wedge, and any other extra ingredients you have.
