A Fun & Healthy Pasta Salad with Avocado Dressing

As a swimmer growing up, pasta salad was my go-to meal at any swim meet. I love the energy from fresh veggies, different pasta shapes, and a bright and herby dressing together in one bowl. This recipe uses avocado and Dijon mustard to make the dressing creamy (instead of a more traditional mayo). This is a great summer side dish… or spring, or fall, or winter.

How Do I Keep Avocados Fresh?

So I learned the best hack for keeping avocadoes fresh: put them in the freezer when they are ripe! They last for months, and when you thaw them the avocado is still perfectly preserved. It does get a little mushy, so its actually perfect for this salad dressing or for guacamole. Seriously, try it out! It’s been a game changer for us!
