Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water to halt cooking.
- While the pasta cools, wash and prep your vegetables. Drain and rinse the black beans and corn. Dice bell pepper and red onion; halve cherry or grape tomatoes. Chop cilantro and dice grilled chicken if using.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cooled rotini pasta, black beans, corn, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and grilled chicken. Gently toss to combine.
- Drizzle chipotle ranch dressing over the salad and gently fold to coat evenly. Taste as you go to reach desired creaminess and spice.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
