Pasta Salad with Whole Wheat and Avocado

Ingredients 0/16

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the rotini and cook until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite—about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop it from sticking together.

Step 2

While the pasta cools, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

In a big bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the diced avocado, green bell pepper, carrot, green onions, celery, garlic, and fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over everything and gently toss to make sure it’s all coated.

Step 4

Finish by stirring in some lemon zest and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. This salad is great served at room temperature, so let it sit for a bit before digging in.
