Avocado Pasta Salad

Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain, rinse under cold water to cool, and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 avocado, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, cumin (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and corn.
Pour the avocado dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
