Air Fryer Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad

The spicy flavours of Mexican street corn are combined with creamy pasta to create this colourful and flavourful Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad. It’s ideal for a casual meal or a summer barbecue. The corn gets a beautiful char from using the air fryer, which improves the flavour of the salad as a whole.

Components

Regarding the Salad:

  1. Radiatori noodles (or any other type of pasta) in two cups (6 ounces)
  2. Two tsp olive oil
  3. One fifteen-ounce can of drained corn kernels
  4. One large avocado, chopped
  5. Three green onions, cut thinly
  6. ½ bunch finely chopped cilantro
  7. One small jalapeño jalapeno, chopped and with seeds
  8. Six strips of cooked and coarsely chopped turkey bacon
  9. ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese
  10. One can (15 ounces) of rinsed and drained black beans

Regarding the Dressing:

  1. ½ cup mayonnaise with added fat
  2. Three tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, or roughly two to three limes
  3. One-third teaspoon ground cumin
  4. one-half teaspoon paprika
  5. One-half teaspoon of chilli powder
  6. One tsp of hot sauce
  7. To taste, add salt and pepper

Instructions

Prepare the pasta:

  • Follow the instructions on the package to cook the pasta. To avoid sticking, drain and stir with 1 tablespoon of olive oil after completion. Put aside.

Toast the corn:

  • Set your air fryer’s temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
  • Add the last tablespoon of olive oil to the drained corn kernels and toss.
  • In the air fryer basket, arrange the corn in a single layer. The corn should be gently browned after 8 to 10 minutes of air fry time, shaking the basket halfway through. Put aside to cool.

Prepare the Turkey:

  • Place the turkey  strips in the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crispy, at 375°F (190°C). When finished, remove and coarsely chop. Put aside.

Put the Salad Together:

  • The cooked pasta, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, chopped turkey crumbled feta cheese, drained black beans, and charred corn should all be combined in a big bowl.

Get the dressing ready:

  • Mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, paprika, chilli powder, ground cumin, and hot sauce in a different bowl. To taste, add salt and pepper for seasoning.

Mix and Present:

  • Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure that all of the items are uniformly coated.
