Bocconcini Tomato Avocado Pasta Salad

By: Nadja, CEO
This is a delicious easy Spring and Summer dish that’s ready in just 10 minutes so you can spend more time enjoying the outdoors. It’s great as vegetarian main dish for 4. Or a perfect side dish for 6. We love it served alongside grilled chicken or ribs.
