Gluten Free Tex-Mex Pasta Salad Recipe

Don’t get bored with the same ol’ pasta salad recipes this summer … try this zesty Gluten Free Tex-Mex Pasta Salad recipe that is full of flavor!

If you’re heading to a potluck or a cookout, whether it’s for the 4th of July next week or any other time this summer, this recipe is sure to be a favorite.

The creaminess of the mayonnaise and sour cream pairs beautifully with the diced avocado, corn, and black beans. Not to mention the addition of fresh cilantro and lime make this a vibrant and refreshing side dish for the season.

For such a creamy dressing, you need a reliable pasta that can last without falling apart or turning to mush. This is why I used Sam Mills Corn and Rice Fusilli. Not only does the corn and rice mixture create a more al dente pasta than rice on its own, but the fusilli holds the dressing in between the spirals, giving you a perfect dressing to pasta ratio in every bite!
