Spinach & Strawberry Pasta Salad
1 Review
From: EatingWell.com, March 2019
This simple pasta side dish combines sweet strawberries and creamy avocado with a tart balsamic vinaigrette. You can make the dressing ahead iand keep it separately, tossing with the pasta salad just before serving. Make this salad even more special by adding crumbled feta or goat cheese.

Excellent flavor , Very satisfying and will make this again. I used Whole Wheat Pearl Cousous in lieu of pasta. It was a nice alternative.
