Pasta salad with sweetcorn, beans and olives

Another favourite salad of mine. It works with any dressing you like, but I think the thousand island one goes really well with the corn and beans.

Ingredients:
Pasta
1 can of sweetcorn
1 can of kidney beans or broad beans
About a dozen black olives
Thousand island dressing

Preparation:
1) Cook the pasta.

2) After it's done, leave it to cool (or just run cold water over it a few times while draining it) while slicing the olives.

3) In a large serving bowl mix the pasta, beans, sweetcorn and olives. Then cover it in the thousand island dressing and stir well again. I usually put on quite a lot of the dressing as the flavour of it goes so well with the other ingredients.

    I've never thought to put Thousand Island dressing on pasta salad but it sounds so good! I love everything in this so I'll have to make it sometime.

    It goes so well with pasta :) My Mum used to make a tuna and pasta salad with thousand island for the dressing so I got the idea from that.
