Southwestern Rice Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling YIELD: 7 servings.
This meatless salad makes a robust side dish, filling lunch or satisfying snack. Try spooning some into low-fat tortillas for a main course. If you're counting fat grams, it's also tasty without the olives.

  • 1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed

  • 1-1/2 cups chunky salsa
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat Italian salad dressing
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
