This is an awesome, healthy, yummy dish!
This is a perfect dinner to enjoy during the warmer weather.
Ingredients;
1 package of whole grain bowtie pasta, cooked according to directions on the box
1/2 cup chopped vidalia onions
1 pint of chopped grape tomatoes
1 finely chopped and seeded
jalapeno pepper
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp chopped cilantro
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup of cooked pinto beans (optional)
Cook pasta according to directions. Strain and let cool, then store in fridge until later.
Meanwhile mix everything else except beans, in a separate bowl and stir well. Cover and refridgerate for 2 hours.
When ready to serve toss the "pico de gallo" with pasta and/or beans and serve cold.
This also makes for a delicious veggie, or tortila dip, instead of being mixed with pasta.
