California Caprese Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 2 oz pasta, cooked

• 1/2 small beefsteak tomato

• 1/2 avocado

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1 oz fresh mozzarella

• 1/2 cup basil, chopped

• 1.5 tsp salt

• 1 tsp cracked black pepper

• 2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to box directions. I used Barilla protein rotini.

2. Chop up avocado, tomato, and mozzarella into bite sized pieces

3. Toss pasta with avocado, tomato, mozzarella, chopped basil, olive oil, and seasonings.

I wouldn't advise making this more than one day in advance. If you want to meal prep this, I would cook all of the pasta ahead of time but add everything else in day of.
