Creamy Avocado Pasta Salad

This avocado pasta food trend has gone viral on TikTok and here’s how you can make it…

Ingredients

12 ounces rotini pasta or other short cut pasta

1 ripe avocado peeled, stone and chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

1 cup frozen corn thawed

Fresh basil for serving

Dressing

2 ripe avocados peeled and cored

1 cup baby spinach

1/2 cup almond milk

Juice of 1 lemon

1 garlic clove

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Method

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions but reduce cooking time by 2 minutes so pasta is al dente; drain well. You can thaw the frozen corn in the pasta cooking water in the last 3-4 minutes of cooking time.

To make the avocado dressing, combine the avocados, spinach, almond milk, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper. With the motor running, add olive oil slowly until the dressing is emulsified, smooth and creamy.

In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the dressing, tomatoes, corn and avocados. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
