tsp black pepper (or

Cook pasta according to package instructions - I cooked 12 oz pasta in 4 Qts water with 1 Tbsp salt and boiled 10 min. About 4 min before pasta is done cooking, add frozen peas and corn and cook 4 min until veggies are crisp tender. Rinse under running cold water to chill pasta. Drain well and transfer to large mixing bowl.

In a food processor or blender, combine half of the spinach, 2 quartered avocados, 4 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 sliced garlic clove, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Pulse until blended then add remaining spinach and blend until creamy and smooth.

Add avocado dressing to pasta bowl along with sliced tomatoes and 1 remaining sliced avocado. Toss salad together until evenly coated. Season to taste with more salt and black pepper.

My husband does NOT like mayo.  So this was a perfect recipe to try because I love pasta salads and was tired of making ones that call for a dressing. I added shredded chicken to mine. Hubby loved it!!

You think it might be good to add some chick peas?    I can’t wait to make this but my husband LOVES CHICK PEAS!   Thank you!

I thought it would be better, it’s blend and has a little bitter after taste. But definitely healthier than Alfredo pasta.
