Pasta Salad Southwestern Style

So it's getting late, but here's a quick idea about tonight's dinner. It was warm outside (like 20 degrees above average) and we wanted something not so warm for dinner. A pasta salad fit the bill. Cook a pound of pasta, mix in a can of black beans, some frozen corn (thawed under the pasta water), plus some chopped celery, carrots and cherry tomatoes. Add the Cumin Lime Vinaigrette from Vive le Vegan and voila, a quick meal for a warm night.

Looks easy! Looks like you all may be missing the southwest too! It's pleasant here (for now).

But the first 100 degree day is right around the corner eh?

We do like Southwestern food, that's for sure... well as long as it's vegan anyway ;-)

We've been playing with the mid-90s lately. I don't mind the heat as long as it's within 70-105 degrees. It sounds hot, but you know, it's DRY! I'm a wuss now (from Chicago) under 70 degrees.
