Cool Pasta Salad With Fresh Basil Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cook the noodles in a large pot of lightly salted water for 8 minutes. I like to add a bit of olive oil to the water for boiling.
  • Rinse noodles in cool water immediately to stop cooking process. You're going for an al dente' texture with the noodles.
  • Chop the avocado, artichokes (drained), tomatoes and scallions.
  • Toss into the bowl with above ingredients.
  • For the dressing: Blend everything in a small-bowl food processor until uniform consistency is achieved. Toss with salad ingredients.
  • Best when chilled for a few hours before eating.
  • Enjoy!!
  • NOTE: If you're making this ahead of time, wait until last minute to add the avocado. Just chop it up before you leave, toss it in some lemon juice, keep it cool in a Tupperware container and add it to the salad at the venue. Avocado likes to go bad pretty quickly!! --Kn0x--
