Directions:Grill the corn on a grill pan, or just place it in a hot skillet to brown some of the kernels. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly, then use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. (omit if using canned corn)
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined.
Place the macaroni, corn, beans, olives, tomatoes, green onions, red onion, and cilantro (if using) in a large bowl. Pour 3/4 of the dressing over the top and gently toss until all the ingredients are coated. Add the final 1/4 of the dressing if you think it needs it. Cover and allow salad to chill for 2 hours.

Notes: I like spicy salsa but because my sister Lisa cannot tolerate spicy foods, I use very mild salsa for this recipe. The original recipe calls for cilantro that I omit because Wayne doesn't like the taste. Just serve with Uncle Waynes Hot sauce and chopped cilantro on the side.
