• In a large bowl, place the 15.5 ounces black beans, the half diced red onion, the sliced orange bell pepper, 10 ounces cherry tomatoes, 1 cup corn, 1 avocado, and 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro.
• Cook the pasta according to instructions on box for al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. No one wants mushy pasta in their pasta salad. Drain well.

Dressing

• In a mason jar, combine the ⅓ cup white vinegar, ¾ teaspoon cumin, 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, ½ teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Place the lid onto the jar and shake vigorously to combine. Pour ¼ cup of the olive oil and shake vigorously until completely combined. Repeat twice more with remaining olive oil.
• Add pasta to the large bowl with salad ingredients. Sprinkle everything with the salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the contents and toss gently to completely coat. Chill in fridge until ready to serve.
