Prep time:15 min
Cook time: 7 min
Serving: 6
 
Ingredients
1 cup Ditalini pasta
2 ear corns grilled
1/4 cup red onion diced
1 jalapeño diced
1/2 cup queso fresco cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
 
For the dressing
1 cup Lifeway Farmer Cheese
1/4 cup Lifeway Organic Whole Milk Plain Kefir
2 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 chipotle in adobo sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
 
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ditalini pasta according to package instructions (about 7 minutes), until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
Grill the corn until lightly charred on all sides. Once cooled, slice the kernels off the cob.
In a blender or food processor, combine Lifeway Farmer Cheese, Lifeway Kefir, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chipotle in adobo, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, grilled corn kernels, diced red onion, jalapeño, queso fresco, and cilantro.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat everything evenly.
Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 15–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
