You’ll feel like you’re on the coast of Italy with this Mediterranean Pasta Salad!
With artichokes, red peppers, tomatoes and avocado, this pasta salad is so fresh. I love the lemon vinaigrette dressing! It’s tangy and full of flavor.
I recommend Heinen’s artisan organic cavatappi pasta for this recipe because the shape is perfectly sized with the other ingredients. It’s also imported from Italy, making this dish even more Mediterranean.
