Avocado Cucumber Pasta Salad

This is the best pasta salad I have had. A friend at work gave me the recipe and I always get compliments whenever I make it.

INGRIDIENT

1 (16 ounce) package tri-color rotini pasta

2 tomatoes, seeded and diced

2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded, and diced

1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives

½ cup Italian dressing, or more to taste

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 avocado, diced

1 squeeze lemon juice

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step: 2

Mix rotini pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, Italian dressing, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Chill until flavors combine, about 1 hour.

Step: 3

Toss avocado with lemon juice in a bowl. Mix into the pasta salad before serving.
