Southwestern Chipotle Lime Pasta Salad

I can’t say that I’m a big fan of cold dinners but when it comes to one that includes something as flavourful as this chipotle lime pasta salad, I’m definitely more easily convinced.

When on vacation recently in the southern states, I ate a lot of barbecue as I always do. At one pit barbecue place, they served up some very thinly sliced smoked center loin pork. It was lightly smoked and so incredibly juicy and tender that I knew I would have to try a version myself. You’ll read more about that a little later on Rock Recipes. Stay tuned.

While experimenting with that recipe, I found that the end result made fantastic cold cuts for sandwiches or to use as part of what we like to call around here, a cold plate. Here in Newfoundland, a Sunday evening tradition, still in many families, is a weekly cold plate supper. Sunday dinner, which is often actually what we refer to lunch as here in Newfoundland (dinner is supper), is usually a big roast dinner meal. All the while I grew up, the planned for, leftover potatoes were turned into one or more varieties of potato salad like picked beet potato salad or mustard salad for supper, later in the day. We always made macaroni salad and coleslaw to go with ours as well. Communal pot luck dinners around these parts will have you sampling different family favourites for sure.

While my own family does not keep up this Sunday supper tradition on a regular basis, on occasions when there is a surplus of leftover turkey, ham, or roast beef we do sometimes plan a cold plate for the next night. The best thing about it of course, is just setting the table and grabbing everything from the fridge. So, with our leftover smoked pork loin and chicken breast as our cold cuts, I decided to make a new pasta salad for such a night. An open can of black beans and a lone lime which needed to be used soon, provided the inspiration for this flavourful chipotle lime pasta salad. With nothing to do to prepare dinner, Spouse and I actually caught up on some PVR’ed TV in the afternoon; something that almost never happens. Hmmm….maybe I need to rethink that position on cold dinners after all.
