Happy
Tuesday! It's a late post, I know. But I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to share my little Pinterest creation. Plus, it’s summer which means there’s a little bit more free time to not
only enjoy some summer reading but also bring some of those Pinterest cooking pins
to life. I’m not going to lie, I tend to just go for ordering to-go instead of
cooking but this time I made myself commit to a pasta recipe I found on
Pinterest but changed it up a little bit to meet my liking. Here is how I made
a avocado ranch pasta salad:
Ingredients:
Pasta
Miracle
Whip (fat free)
Ranch
Dressing Mix
Carrots
Broccoli
Ham
Red
Bell Pepper
Avocado
Lemon
Juice
First, I cooked the pasta in water, drained it
and let it cool. Then I cut vegetables and meat that I wanted to mix into the
pasta. I eliminated the yellow pepper because I felt like red pepper was good
enough for me, but went ahead and added avocado because I just love avocado on
everything. For the dressing, I changed it up a bit because I’m just not a fan
of Greek yogurt. Instead, I smashed avocado and mixed it with ranch dressing
mix and lemon juice to help give it more of a dressing texture. Threw it all in
a big bowl and mixed it all up. It was quick and easy, which is perfect for
when you get home after work and you’re starving. The last thing you need is to
prepare a dinner that is going to take up to an hour to make. This takes like
20-30 mins tops. I made sure I made enough to take some to work for lunch the
next day.
Hope you enjoy this recipe! :)Labels: Food
