Corn and Black Bean Tortellini Salad

Corn and Black Bean Tortellini Salad is a simple recipe that kicks up the traditional salsa to a whole new level. It's loaded with beans, corn and veggies and tossed with a chile-lime salad dressing to create an absolutely craveworthy recipe that everyone will be raving about!

We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at BUSH’S® Beans to bring you a scrumptious simple recipe with BUSH’S® Black Beans!!!

I keep my pantry stocked with beans because they are so easy to incorporate into everyday meals. As a matter of fact, my daughter's favorite dinners of all time is a skillet with black beans. Having them on hand makes it so easy to toss together a great meal.

With summer rolling around we are already in fresh vegetable mode. I can't get enough salads right now. One of my favorite fresh combinations are corn and black bean salsa. I decided to take this classic favorite and transform it into a scrumptious potluck hero.

Every year we all find ourselves attending summer parties and potlucks. I know I always want to bring something everyone will love, because who doesn't want everyone fawning over their food? Am.I.Right?

My latest obsession is this corn and black bean tortellini salad. The star of the show are the exceptional black beans and grilled corn on the cob makes the perfect partner to this salad. It is a salad so I have loaded up with my favorite veggies and a simple chile-lime dressing to bring it all together and then I topped it with avocado, cheese, and cilantro.

You could use your own store bought chili-lime dressing but homemade is so easy. I mean who could say no? This salad is absolutely craveworthy!!!

Piña Colada Cheesecake Salad

Pina Colada Cheesecake Salad is my latest obsession. This simple recipe starts with a fresh pineapple fruit salad tossed with a rich and buttery coconut rum cheesecake filling (don't worry it's kid friendly) to create the most spectacular fruit salad ever!

We are so excited to be partnering with International Delight® to bring you another fabulous recipe. I don't know about you, but I love my coffee so I always have creamer in the house. I have found this to be an amazing convenient ingredient in cooking and baking sweets. So, of course when I started thinking about cheesecake salads I thought of International Delight.

RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM

I am so hooked on cheesecake salads. I have several different recipes now and you all are loving them as much as I am. So, I started wondering what combination we could come up with that screams summer and is totally out of the ordinary. I have to say I love love love the flavors of a pina colada. The nutty coconut, sweet pineapple and buttery rum. It is utterly tropical and completely satisfying.

Cheesecake salad is all the rage, and I am sure because it pretty much is everything. It is a side, it's a salad and it's dessert all in one magnificent recipe. Rich and creamy cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, coconut cream pudding, our favorite creamer and some rum extract to get that true pina colada flavor. The creamer lends a richness and creaminess to the cheesecake filling and the perfect touch of sweetness. The filling is folded into fresh pineapple, strawberries, and mandarin oranges to create our latest taste sensation.

I have to say, Chad, Munchkin and I all stood around the counter sampling this cheesecake salad we just couldn't get enough.

Helpful Tips to make Piña Colada Cheesecake Salad:

Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!

What you will need to make Piña Colada Cheesecake Salad:

Electric Hand Mixer - I have had this one in my kitchen forever (it seems like) at least 8 years.

Piña Colada Cheesecake Salad

Pina Colada Cheesecake Salad is my latest obsession. This simple recipe starts with a fresh pineapple fruit salad tossed with a rich and buttery coconut rum cheesecake filling (don't worry it's kid friendly) to create the most spectacular fruit salad ever!

Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 (3.4-ounce) package coconut cream flavored instant pudding, unprepared
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer
1 fresh pineapple cut into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
1 pound strawberries, quartered
4 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned

Instructions

In a medium tall bowl (I use my 8 cup measuring cup), using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up. Add the dry pudding mix. Beat until it is well combined. Blend in the rum extract.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese, repeat until all of the creamer has been added to the mixture. Whip until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine pineapple, strawberries, and oranges. Add the cheesecake mixture to the fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit.
Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.

DONNA'S NOTES

Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!

Summer Berry Fruit Salad

Summer Berry Fruit Salad is a simple recipe with a glorious dressing. The berries are left to macerate in the dressing and the result is a sweet and tangy perfectly scoopable summer sensation! This fruit salad is great to take to potlucks and picnics. Just be sure to bring the recipe because everyone will be asking for it.

You may have noticed I have a bit of a thing for summer berries. I wait all year for the season to get here and when it finally does. I go crazy with berries. They go with every breakfast, snack and dessert. I am thinking about incorporating them into dinner too.

Truth be told my I do have favorites. Strawberries, blueberries and then raspberries. Blackberries are kind of the weird cousin that only gets to tag along once in a while.

I like them, but the can have a more 'earthy' flavor than I prefer. The earthiness can really overwhelm the other flavors so I leave them out more times than not.

Last year I made my first fruit salsa. Pineapple Salsa and it was insanely delicious. I couldn't get enough. Then I created Strawberry Habanero Everything Spread. Oh my gosh. I can not tell you how amazing the sweet dips were when dipped with salty tortilla chips.

So this year I decided to try something new. A completely sweet fruit salsa served on tortilla chips.

It all starts with a triple berry mixture that is dressed in a dazzling raspberry sauce. It is sweet and tangy and addictively tasty. We couldn't stop eating it. We dipped it with chips. Then once it sat in the refrigerator for about an hour it because this perfect everything salsa. Perfect for dipping or on top of oatmeal or ice cream. {{swoon}} I know you are going to love it too.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
