Instructions
- Set a large pot of salted water to boil (for pasta). Add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, wash the radishes, remove stems and cut into thin slices. Put them in a bowl.
- Cut lime in half. Keep one half aside for later. Make thin slices with the second half, remove the skin. Then cut each slice into 4 and put in the bowl with radishes.
- Peel the red onion and chop it very finely. Wash the sweet pepper, remove the seeds, and chop very finely. Put everything into the bowl.
- Dice avocado after removing the kernel. Sprinkle the juice of the second lime half to prevent avocado from turning brown, and add to the other ingredients.
- Rince and finely chop cilantro. Add to the other ingredients.
- Once pasta is cooked, drain, and rinse with cold water to cool down and prevent from becoming sticky. Drain well with a colander, then add pasta to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Prepare the sauce: mix olive oil with vinegar. Season, and pour into the bowl over the pasta salad.
- Mix, and serve the pasta salad! Enjoy!
