ingredients

• 3 cups of bow tie pasta – cooked (when doubled I use the whole box)
• 15 oz. black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1/4-1/2 c fresh tomato, seeded
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (or more to taste)
• 1/2 bunch green onions
• Dressing
• 3 oz. cream cheese (I use the whole 8 oz block when I double this recipe). Warm this in the microwave and then blend with the following ingredients:
• $ Tbsp lemon juice
• 3Tbsp milk
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese I use the freshly grated but the canned powdered cheese works OK and it is much less expensive.
