Recipe Summary Avocado Whole Wheat Pasta Salad

This dish incorporates one of my favorite things in the universe, avocado, into a side dish with other fresh vegetables. It also works as a vegan main course dish.

Ingredients | Whole Foods Mock Chicken Salad Recipe

1 (12 ounce) box whole wheat rotini pasta

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons white vinegar

lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon honey

2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and chopped

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 large carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces

6 green onions, sliced

1 stalk celery, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon lemon zest

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain and run under cold water to prevent sticking.

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and honey together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.

Mix pasta, avocados, green bell pepper, carrot, green onions, celery, garlic, basil, parsley, and cilantro together in a bowl. Drizzle dressing over pasta mixture and toss to coat. Add lemon zest, salt, and pepper to pasta salad. Serve at room temperature.

Any variety of whole wheat pasta can be used. Any combination of fresh herbs can be substituted for the ones listed.
