Ingredients
For the pasta salad
- 1 box farfalle noodles
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ large english cucumber
- 1 bag frozen corn
- ½ cup red onion
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime zested
For the Green Goddess Dressing
- 1 buschel cilantro
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 avocado
- 3 limes juiced
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt Two Good
- 1 tbsp Trader Joe's Green Goddess Seasoning
- ¼ cup Shaved parmesan
- 1 tsp Sriracha
Instructions
- First, prepare the noodles according to the box instructions. Once they are cooked, drain and rinse. Allow them to cool. Add them to the large mixing/serving bowl.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cook the frozen corn (microwave or stove top), chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters, use a vegetable chopper to evenly chop the cucumber and red onion. Use a pizza cutter to finely dice cilantro.
- Add all of the chopped vegetables to the mixing bowl with the noodles. Add the lime zest over top.
- Lastly, make the dressing. A blender or food processor is going to work best. You could use an immersion blender as well if needed. In the blender, add cilantro stems and all (secret: the stem has the most flavor), along with the olive oil and lime juice.
- Blend it together until most of the cilantro is completely blended - it will look like green juice. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help thin it out.
- Then, add avocado, plain greek yogurt. Blend again until completely smooth.
- Pour dressing over top of the vegetables and noodles.
- Toss to coat all of the ingredients with dressing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. This pasta salad holds up fabulously for meal prep!
- This Cilantro Lime Pasta Salad is meant to be served cold. The Green Goddess Dressing isn't great when heated and the fresh veggies are also best chilled.
