Normy and I had us a BBQ to go too this summer, and our friends said it was a Mexican food theme kind of BBQ. So I went online and searched and found this recipe from one of my favorite bloggers….The Pioneer woman (of course).
I added a few extra’s (of course) to make it my own!
FOR THE SALAD:
1 pound/box Elbow Macaroni, Cooked To Package Instructions, Drained, And Rinsed With Cold Water
2 ears Fresh Corn, Husks And Silks Removed, and cut off the cob
1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
3.8 can, sliced Black Olives
6 whole Roma Tomatoes, Chopped
3 whole Green Onions, chopped
1/2 whole Red Onions, Finely Diced
Chopped Cilantro
2 jalapenos, small dice
small can, diced mild green chilies (or you could use fresh)
FOR THE DRESSING:
1 cup Jarred Salsa
1 cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
Salt And Pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon taco seasoning, Homemade is best
2 Limes, Juiced and zest of 1 lime
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined.
Place the macaroni, corn, beans,
olives, tomatoes, green onions, red onion,
I also added jalapenos to mine and added them at this point, and cilantro, and green chilies (if using)
add everything in a large bowl.
Then add the dressing
and gently toss until all the ingredients are coated. Then I added some hot sauce for a little extra kick
Then gently toss everything together and make sure everything is all tossed together well
Cover and allow salad to chill for 2 hours.
I will definitely be making this salad again! It was SO good and had tons of flavor and everyone loved it! Crowd pleaser and it can feed a crowd too!
