1/3 Cup Greek yogurt
1/3 Cup mayo
1 Teaspoon chili powder
Zest & juice of 1 lime
Salt & pepper
Salad
2 Cups mini shells pasta
1 Can corn, drained

Instructions

Dressing
Whisk all dressing ingredients together until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to use.
Salad
Bring a pot of water to a boil, dump in dry pasta and cook until pasta is done - about 8 -10 minutes. Strain off water and rinse with cool water. Drain water off completely.
Mix a few tablespoons of the dressing into the pasta and place in fridge to cool completely.
When pasta is cool; stir in the corn, green onions, and black beans, cheese, jalapeno, and parsley.
Stir in as much of the dressing as you like - you may want to save a little to stir in just before serving.
