🍲 Ingredients

Corn – You can use canned, frozen, or fresh corn for this recipe. Corn is so yummy in the summer months, bonus that it’s inexpensive and so versatile. Add it into salads, pasta dishes, grill it on the BBQ for an easy side, the list goes on.

Black Olives – I love the saltiness that black olives add to a recipe. You can use black or green in this Bowtie Pasta Salad but I personally love black. Black olives have a rich, meaty flavor and a smooth, buttery texture.

1. Into a large bowl add all your salad ingredients, toss and set aside.
