Fiesta Ranch Pasta Salad

1 pkg. Rotini Noodles

1 pkg. Fiesta Ranch Hidden Valley Dips Mix
1 c. Mayo
1/4 c. Milk (optional... try it without first)

1 can Kidney Beans
1 large Tomato
1 Avocado
1/2 c. Canned Corn
1/2 c. Red Onion

Cook Pasta according to the package directions. Drain & Rinse in cold water.

Mix mayo and Fiesta Ranch together in large serving bowl. (I suggest that the milk be added after adding the vegetables if you would like it thinner... remember that the tomatoes, kidney beans, and corn may add additional liquid to the mix) Keep in the fridge until ready to add the rest of the ingredients.

Cut up tomato, avocado, and red onions into small pieces. Drain and rinse corn and kidney beans. Combine all with the above mayo/ranch mix then add pasta and toss.

Serve cold



More Ideas for this recipe...

Add Chicken - By adding chicken, you have a complete meal for you family!
Tomatoes - Use 3-4 roma tomatoes... they have less liquid and a milder taste for kids who may not like the traditional tomatoes.
Red Onions - Although the red onion adds a beautiful color to this dish, you can use whatever type of onion you have on hand. One of my favorites substitutions is the green onion... try cutting them up with sharp kitchen shears... this saves a whole lot of time!

Latter-Day Saint Readings on America and The Constitution.
Editor Ralph C. Hancock

This was nominated for the book of the month by Kimberly of Springville, Utah.

"I remember reading this book as part of an American History course in college and it really jumped out at me. I wanted to read this book again and at a time when many peoples thoughts are on their country, I would like to nominate it for anyone who would like to read along.

And yes, it is a compilation of quotes about America and the Constitution from the view point of prominent LDS figures over the past century and a half...so if your against reading material with a religious influence... especially if it is not your religion, you may not like this book. If your open to finding common ground with others, or are curious about how others view this country then I think you will enjoy it."
