Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add in your rotini pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
  2. Once the pasta is cooked, carefully drain it in a colander and rinse under cold water to cool it quickly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta with corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, freshly squeezed lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture in the large bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy your Street Corn Pasta Salad.
