2 cups Dried penne or rotini

1/2 cup Frozen whole kernel corn

1/2 cup Light dairy sour cream

1/3 cup Mild or medium chunky salsa

1 tablespoon Snipped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon Lime juice

1 15-ounce Can black beans, rinsed and drained

3 Medium plum tomatoes, chopped (1 cup)

1 Medium zucchini, chopped (1 cup)

1/2 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Preparation

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, adding the corn the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain pasta and corn. Rinse with cold water; drain again.

2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a small mixing bowl stir together sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and lime juice. Set dressing aside.

3. In a large bowl combine pasta mixture, black beans, tomatoes, zucchini, and cheese. Pour dressing over pasta mixture. Toss lightly to coat. Serve immediately or, if desired, cover and chill.

Prepare salad; cover and chill for up to 24 hours. To serve, if necessary, stir in enough milk to make desired consistency.
