Mexican Pasta Salad
Mexican Pasta Salad.
I used 2 cups Israeli couscous, which is like a small round pasta. You can usually find it in the bulk section of most grocery stores but you can sub with any small pasta. Boil as directed till soft.
1 can black beans
1 can sweet corn
2 chopped roma tomato
1 small sweet onion chopped finely
1/2 a green pepper chopped finely
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt/pepper to taste
pinch of paprika, cumin and chili powder to taste
1 avocado sliced
Add all the fresh ingredients together (except avocado) and mix in Israeli couscous (make sure it cools down first), add seasoning and mix. Let sit in fridge till whole mix cools (about 1 hr) Its better if its left overnight to let the flavors develop. Add in any meat if you want, shrimp would be great in this or have as a side dish. Top with slices of avocado before serving! Super healthy and omg delicious!! Makes a huge bowl, id estimate between 8-10 servings.
