Mexican Macaroni Salad

Recipe Added:  9/29/2015
1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked, drained, rinsed
2 ears fresh corn, husked (or 1 cup frozen)
1 can black or kidney beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped black olives
2 tomatoes, chopped
3 green onions, sliced thin
1/2 red onions, finely diced
chopped cilantro (optional)
Dressing
1 cup salsa
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
2 limes, juiced (optional)
Grill 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 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 needed. Cover and allow salad to chill for 2 hours. Serve with garnishments of choice.
