Step-by-Step Instructions
Ingredients
- 3 Cups cooked farfalle (bow-tie pasta)
- 3 Cups corn (frozen or off the cob)
- 1 Large red pepper diced
- ½ Cup sliced green onions
- 1 avocado cubed
- ½ Cup cotija or quest fresco cheese crumbled

Lime Dressing

Step 1
Make the dressing- whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, SWEEETHEAT Southern BBQ Blend and pinch of salt. Set aside. This dressing gets better as it sits in the refrigerator.
Step 2
If using frozen corn, char it in a large skillet over medium high heat with a little olive oil or butter. Let it cook and try not to stir it often so that you get full flavor. If using cob corn you can remove the husk, butter, season, and charr on the grill. Cut kernels off the cob after they cool.
Step 3
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Step 4
Add the SWEEETHEAT Southern BBQ Blend lime dressing and toss to coat.
Step 5
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. If you are making this the day before wait to cut and add the avocado until ready to serve.
