Chicken Taco Pasta Salad

Serves 8

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups uncooked pasta
1 pound ground chicken
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
4 cups shredded lettuce
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
2 cups of peaches and cream corn kernels
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (or use the “Mexican/Taco” blend cheese tidbits)
½ cup chopped onion (I use 1 bunch green onions, chopped)
½ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup salsa
1 can black beans, rinsed and well-drained
1 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup Roasted Pepper Dressing
Tortilla chips

DIRECTIONS:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook meat over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning; cool.
Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; stir into meat mixture and add the salsa and beans. Add the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, cheese, onion, green pepper/chiles, olives and dressing; toss to coat. Serve with tortilla chips – or add to salad just before serving.
If you serve immediately the meat/pasta mixture will melt the cheese slightly. If not, store the meat/pasta mixture in a separate container so the lettuce won’t wilt before serving.
