Penne with Corn, Roasted Poblanos, Avocado, and Tomato

"Yum yum yum!! A total feast for the senses...smell, taste, texture...this salad rocks!! So many vegetables went in, I was eeeasily able to use a full pound of pasta (which I did not rinse after cooking so the dressing clung to it).My favorite parts: the sweetness of the corn & lime juice against the butteryness of the queso & avocado. Heaven!" -Laura
