Instructions

Creating Healthy Street Corn Pasta Salad can be simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
2. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, you can either boil or grill it for a couple of minutes until tender. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse.
3. Chop the Vegetables: While the pasta is cooking, chop the tomatoes, onion, avocado, and cilantro to ensure everything is ready to mix.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion, and cilantro.
6. Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine until everything is well coated.
7. Chill (Optional): Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
8. Serve: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top just before serving for added flavor.
