Ingredients
-
1 (12 ounce) box whole wheat rotini pasta
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
3 tablespoons white vinegar
-
lemon, juiced
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and chopped
-
1 green bell pepper, sliced
-
1 large carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces
-
6 green onions, sliced

1 stalk celery, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain and run under cold water to prevent sticking.
-
Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and honey together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
-
Mix pasta, avocados, green bell pepper, carrot, green onions, celery, garlic, basil, parsley, and cilantro together in a bowl. Drizzle dressing over pasta mixture and toss to coat. Add lemon zest, salt, and pepper to pasta salad. Serve at room temperature.
