With Southwestern-style dressing, corn, peppers and fresh cilantro, this is an addictive salad that goes great with chicken.
(Makes: 8 Servings)
Ingredients
1 16-ounce package Rotini pasta
4-5 quarts water
Dressing:
1 1/4 cups V-8 juice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cooked yellow corn kernels
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
1 chicken breast fillet, cooked and diced
Directions
1. Prepare the pasta by bringing 4-5 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
Add pasta to the pan, and when water begins to boil again, cook for 8-11 minutes.
Pasta should be al dente, or mostly tender but with a slight toughness in the middle.
2. Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Cover and chill the dressing until you\'re ready to use it.
3. When pasta is done, pour it into a large bowl. Add the dressing, then toss.
4. Add the remaining ingredients to the pasta, and toss until combined.
Cover and chill for several hours before serving.
