Avocado Pasta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix rotini pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, Italian dressing, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Chill until flavors combine, about 1 hour.
• Toss avocado with lemon juice in a bowl. Mix into the pasta salad before serving.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
• Remove the cooked pasta,drain while running under cold water.
• Place pasta in a bowl and toss the pasta with 1/4 cup of olive oil.
• Chill the pasta in the refrigerator while preparing the other ingredients.
• Peel and cut one avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
• Mince the jalapeno pepper and garlic cloves.
• Chop the parsley and cilantro.
• To make the dressing for the salad, combine the halved avocado, half of the chopped parsley, half of the cilantro, the lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, and salt in a food processor or blender.
• Blend until all ingredients are well mixed and add the 1 cup of olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture is creamy (resembling mayonnaise in consistency).
• If the dressing is too thick, add a little water to the blender to loosen it up.
• Set the dressing aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Peel 4 of the avocados, halve them, and remove the pits, and dice (I prefer larger chunks, so cut them to the size that you prefer).
• Dice the tomatoes and red onions.
• In a large bowl, combine the chilled pasta, diced avocados, tomatoes, onion, and remaining parsley and cilantro. Mix until well combined.
• Fold in the avocado dressing and mix well until all of the pasta mixture is well coated.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
