Street Corn Pasta Salad
One of my favorite things to snack on is a tasty cold salad! This Street Corn Pasta Salad was like a chilled and deconstructed, spicy street corn! The jalapeño brought a nice heat, the flavors of the lime, the crunchy corn, the cheese, and the chili powder - it all came together so well! And this salad gets yummier as it sits in its own deliciousness! This pasta salad would be perfect for a potluck, party, a sunny day on the patio! It was so yummy! A total vibe!
