Instructions

Step1: Cook the Pasta

  • Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.

Step2: Prepare the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar (if using), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
  • Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

Step3: Assemble the Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and cilantro.
  • Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step4: Add Cheese (Optional)

  • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad. Toss lightly if desired.

Step5: Serve

  • Adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour for enhanced flavors.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent them from turning mushy in the salad.
  • Chill the salad for 30 minutes before serving for a more flavorful experience.
  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost.
