Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup Serrano Pepper Infused Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/3 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot For boiling pasta
  • 1 Colander For draining pasta
  • 1 Large mixing bowl For dressing and tossing
  • 1 set Measuring cups For accurate portions
  • 1 set Measuring spoons For smaller measurements
  • 1 Cutting board For vegetables and herbs
  • 1 Chef Knife For chopping and dicing
  • 1 mixing spoon For gentle tossing

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini until just tender, following the package time.
  2. Drain the pasta and rinse briefly under cool water, then let it sit until no longer steaming.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the avocado with the Serrano Pepper Infused Olive Oil, lime juice, lime zest, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, romaine, cilantro, and parsley to the bowl.
  5. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated and the vegetables are well distributed.
  6. Fold in the feta cheese last so it stays visible throughout the salad.
  7. Taste and adjust with a little more salt, black pepper, lime juice, or olive oil if needed.
  8. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, or serve right away if you like a fresher, looser texture.

Notes

For the best texture, choose a ripe but not oversoft avocado. If the pasta absorbs the dressing after chilling, refresh it with a small splash of olive oil and lime juice before serving. Keep the vegetables cut into small, even pieces so every bite feels balanced.
