# How to Make It:
01 -
Sprinkle lots of fresh cilantro on top. Taste for salt and pepper and fix it if you need to. Toss the salad into the fridge for at least half an hour, so everything gets tasty.
02 -
Pour your creamy dressing right over everything in the bowl. Give it a gentle toss, making sure the veggies and pasta are all covered.
03 -
Dump the cooled pasta into a big bowl. Toss in the sweet corn, bell pepper chunks, those red onion bits, and the spicy jalapeño.
04 -
In a smaller bowl, whisk together your mayo, sour cream, fresh lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
05 -
Get a big pot of salted water going. Add your pasta and cook till it's just done. Drain it, then run it under cold water so it cools off and stops cooking. Set it aside for later.

It tastes even better if you make it ahead and let it chill in the fridge. The flavors really come together.
