Ingredients
- 8 oz whole wheat rotini pasta
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooling, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and finely dice the red onion. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
Step 5
Pour the lime dressing over the pasta salad and gently toss to coat, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
