Mexican Pasta Salad

Found a recipe ripped out of a magazine (don't know which one) and made a bunch of changes to it to get this.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 box corkscrew pasta, cooked and rinsed with cold water
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard (could use Dijon)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 can corn
  • 1 can sliced black olives
  • 3/4 cup shredded Mexican-lend cheese
  • Tortilla chips
DIRECTIONS
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, mustard, honey and cumin. 
  2. In a large serving bowl, mix together all ingredients along with the dressing.
  3. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
