Instructions

Creating the Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad is easy and straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
2. Grill the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill the corn on medium-high for 8-10 minutes until slightly charred. Once done, let it cool and cut the kernels off the cob.
3. Prep the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled pasta and corn kernels to the vegetable mixture. Pour in the dressing and mix until everything is well coated.
6. Add Cheese: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, being careful not to break it apart too much.
7. Chill: For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
