Ingredients:
- 220 g fusilli pasta
- 8 thick slices bacon, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
- 1.5 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup frozen small lima beans, thawed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
- 0.5 cup thinly sliced green onions
Preparation:
- In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, cold skillet, then heat over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, lemon juice, 0.5 tsp salt and a little black pepper.
- Cook the beans in boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the corn and continue cooking until the kernels are tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans and corn to a colander and place under cold running water to stop the cooking. Drain and add everything to the bowl with the dressing.
- Place the pasta in boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water to cool; place in a bowl with the dressing.
- Add the tomatoes and green onions to the bowl and toss. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with crispy bacon. This pasta salad is best served immediately.
