Amazing Summer Pasta Salad!
I don't create many of my own recipes but here is one I made on the fly today, and really enjoyed! I hope you do too...
INGREDIENTS:
Dressing:
2.5 T Red Wine Vinegar
1 T Dijon Mustard
1 T Canola Oil
1 T Minced Garlic (or Shallots)
1/8 t Salt
1/8 t Black Pepper
Salad:
2 Avocados
3 Tomatoes
1-2 C Corn
3/4 C (Dry) Pasta
PREPARE:
Dressing:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well with a fork.
Salad:
1. Cook pasta, then rinse in very cold water until it is no longer warm to the tough. (Note: Quinoa Pasta has more nutritional value than regular white pasta. Or, you can leave out the pasta altogether!)
2. Cut tomatoes and avocados into small, bite-sized pieces
3. Combine pasta, tomatoes, avocados and corn in a bowl and toss.
Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat salad. Enjoy!
Serves 4 as a side dish, 2 as a meal.
