Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package tri-color rotini pasta

  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced

  • 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

Directions

  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.

  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.

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