V’s Southwestern Pasta Salad, If you like a citrus based dressing with rotini pasta, give this one a try I make this salad for a nice refreshing twist for pasta salad This is one of our family favorite Southwestern Salads Enjoy as a side dish or add cooked chicken and make it a meal in one! Served chilled Bueno ;), I’m writing this with the caveat that the salad hasn’t completely cooled yet but I absolutely LOVE the flavors Husband and I are huge fans of anything southwestern anyway (I could feed him tacos every night and he’d be plump and happy) I didn’t have the full amount of lime juice, so used half lemon, half lime, with maybe a half a tsp of lime zest that I had saved Much sadness that I didn’t have an avocado, but the flavors stand for themselves, and I suppose I can do without that extra bit of fat THIS time used frozen corn flash cooked in the microwave (water + bowl + 5 mins :P) I might update my review tomorrow based on how much of the sauce is absorbed by the pasta In the future I might double the citrus/spice sauce, depending on how it stands up overnight! Overall, awesome Love it , I substituted parsley and a little basil for the cilantro (instead of going to the store) I came out really good! I’ll definitely make this one again!
