Chipotle Cheddar Pasta Salad --
1 pound pasta, any shape

1 (15 oz) can sweet corn, drained
1 c crumbled feta cheese
1 (10 oz) pkg fresh pico de gallo, drained
1 c chopped cilantro
1 c diced red pepper
1 c grated carrots
1 c diced cucumber, peeled and seeded
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 lime, halved
1/2 (12 oz) bottle Brianna's Chipotle Cheddar dressing
Cook pasta in salted water, according to directions. Drain and run under cold water. Set aside.
Toss together beans, corn, feta, and remaining salad ingredients. Squeeze 1/2 lime over the top and cut remaining 1/2 lime into wedges for serving. Add cooled pasta and toss with enough dressing to coat. Chill until ready to serve. Before serving, toss with more dressing, as desired (pasta will absorb dressing as it sits). Serve with lime wedges.
Enjoy!!
