Description

A fall pasta salad made with avocado, fresh veggies, herbs and just a handful of other easy to find wholesome ingredients!


Ingredients

Avocado Dijon Dressing:

  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/21 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper as desired

Pasta Salad:

  • 1 (12 oz.) bag tricolored spiraled pasta
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta according to the packaging directions. Once the pasta has finished cooking, drain and run under cold water to cool. Set aside.
  2. Add all of the dressing ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  3. To a large bowl, add the pasta, dressing and all of the remaining ingredients. Stir until all of the pasta is coated and everything is uniform.
  4. Serve cold or at room temperature.*

Notes

  • This recipe tastes better as it sits, so I suggest setting it into the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving.
