Summer Black Bean and Pasta Salad
Drain the pasta, and rinse it immediately with cold water to cool it quickly. If you can't find ditalini pasta, substitute tubetti or small elbow macaroni.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and cool completely.
Step 2
Combine the tomatoes, avocado, poblano, cucumber, onion, cilantro, and beans in a medium bowl, stirring well. Combine rind, juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add pasta and lime mixture to bean mixture; toss to combine. Serve with lime wedges.

Great summer salad. Love the dressing.

I got good reviews from the gang I served this salad to. I did use corn instead of cucumber and almost doubled the dressing. Good, fresh, summer in a bowl.

Delicious! It's easy, but does take a bit of chopping. I'll definitely make it again. I served it with the Spicy Honey Brushed Chicken Thighs. My cucumber had gone bad so I added corn to maintain the vegetable content, and it was very tasty. I think you could play around with the veggies a bit.

Has been a favorite for a few years now! I do add a little extra cilantro because we love it.
