$Tex-Mex Pasta Salad With Raisins For A Crowd - CDKitchen.com$

serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

2 pounds rotini or other similar pasta
4 cans (15 ounce size) black beans, rinsed and drained
4 cans (15 ounce size) whole kernel corn, drained
6 cups raisins
4 cups chopped green bell peppers
4 cups shredded cheese (use combination of white and yellow)

Dressing
4 cups mayonnaise
2 1/2 cups salsa

directions

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.

Make dressing by combining mayonnaise and salsa. Mix pasta with these remaining ingredients, then stir in dressing.

Reserve one cup of dressing to add just before serving. The pasta will tend to absorb some of the dressing and the salad will dry out slightly. Chill both the salad and the reserved dressing until serving time.
