How To Make Cilantro Lime Pasta Salad
- Create the dressing. The dressing components should be combined in a food processor and processed until smooth. As you assemble the remainder of your salad, keep your dressing chilled.
- Get your spaghetti ready. The pasta should be prepared as directed on the packaging. After that, leave it alone to finish cooling.
- Get ready the remaining components. Cook the corn according to your favorite way while the pasta cools, and then after it has cooled, cut the kernels from the cobs. Cut up your avocado, cilantro, red onion, tomatoes, and set them aside.
- Stir, then plate! A large bowl can hold all of your ingredients (avocado not included). Add your desired quantity of dressing on top. After completely coating the salad, sprinkle the avocado dice on top. Extra avocado should be served on the side.
