So fresh tasting. I make a much smaller amount for two. I can kind of guess how much of each ingredients to use in the dressing, and nothing goes to waste.Reply

To start I only had 1 avocado, so I halved everything else. I also did not use a food processor instead I mixed in a tight lid container and use a wisk until creamy and then added the olive oil a bit at a time and shook the container. Came out just fine. Hubby and I both liked it. I thought the amount of pasta was too much, so I probably used about 4 oz of pasta. (Remember I cut the recipe in half.) I thought it could use a little something else??? Just trying to get healthy avocado into our diet. All in all a winner. I will make again and add something else. I’m thinking lime....Reply
