Instructions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil, add salt to taste, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water.

Step 2

Add the avocados, olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and fresh basil to a mason jar. Cover and shake until combined- you want the avocado chunky and not completely smooth.

Step 3

To a large bowl combine the pasta, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and onion. Pour over the dressing and stir to coat. Chill 30 minutes before serving to meld the flavors together.
