How to Make Avocado And Feta Pasta Salad

  1. Cook 8 ounces of pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients. Dice 1 ripe avocado, halve and thinly slice 4 ounces of feta cheese, chop 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, avocado, feta, tomatoes, and nuts.
  4. Add 2 cups of baby spinach and 1 cup of arugula (rocket).
  5. Roughly chop 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, or dill) and add to the bowl.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon of capers.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra feta and herbs if desired.
