Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked wagon wheel pasta or elbow macaroni
  • 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small green pepper, julienned
  • 1 small sweet red pepper, julienned
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup picante sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, beans, cheese, tomatoes, peppers and onions.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, picante sauce, salt and cumin; pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Instead of chopping green onions with a knife, try snipping them with kitchen shears. It's faster, and you can do it directly over the bowl.
  • Learn how to make homemade mayonnaise if you don't want to use store-bought.
