MEXICAN PASTA SALAD
This is a quick, easy, and refreshing dinner that I think is pretty healthy (contains veggies and fiber and can be made pretty low in fat). Although I did get the original recipe from the Moosewood Low Fat Favorites cookbook, I have altered this recipe through the years to meet our tastes. The best thing about this recipe is it can be altered to use whatever crisp veggies you have on hand and whatever spices you prefer. This recipe is also great as a leftover so do not be afraid to make ahead and store in your fridge.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta (al dente) During approximately the last 2 minutes of cooking time, add the corn.
- While the pasta/corn mixture is cooking, combine all other ingredients (except for the cheese) in a large bowl.
- Drain the pasta and corn.
- Rinse the pasta and corn in cold water until the mixture is cool or cold.
- Add the pasta/corn mixture to the other ingredients and mix.
- Before serving, sprinkle mixture with shredded cheese.
- (OPTIONAL) If you are vegan, do not complete this step.
- *Please note, I have also added other vegetables, such as fresh and frozen chopped broccoli (add to pasta cooking process like the corn), fresh chopped cauliflower, etc.
- You can also add cooked, diced or chopped chicken (great for leftovers).
