SOUTHWEST LAYERED PASTA SALAD
After the popularity of my Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad (Thank you, JAP chefs!), I thought I'd develop another salad dish, this time with a Southwestern tang.

Steps:
- 1. While pasta is cooking, prepare your chopped vegetables. If using canned corn or black beans, just rinse & drain well. Cover & refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad.
- 2. Mix the drained & cooled pasta with some of the salad dressing. Cover and refrigerate if you are not ready to eat.
- 3. When it's time for dinner, layer the pasta, then the vegetables, in a large pasta bowl or individual salad plates.
- 4. Top with crumbled Fritos and shredded cheese.
- 5. Decisions, decisions... Will you top with more salad dressing or possibly salsa & sour cream?
- 6. Whatever you decide, enjoy!
