Creamy Southwest Ranch Pasta Salad Recipe
  1. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside to cool.

  2. Meanwhile chop all necessary ingredients.

  3. Set out a large salad bowl. Add in the cooked pasta, black beans, tomatoes, corn, chopped bell pepper, onion, cilantro, olives, and jalapeno.

  4. In a separate bowl (or measuring pitcher) combine the ranch dressing, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well. Then taste, and salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Mix the dressing into the pasta salad and gently stir until well coated.

  6. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. (Allowing the pasta salad ingredients to rest with the dressing longer creates a better overall flavor.)
