A refreshing and flavorful pasta salad featuring creamy avocado, tangy feta, and a zesty lemon dressing.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to cool it down.
Rinsing the pasta stops the cooking process and prevents it from becoming mushy.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, and basil leaves.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed.
Dice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Cut the avocado just before mixing to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese.
Gently toss to avoid mashing the avocado.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
