Protein pasta salad with pesto
from Paulina
Quick to make and incredibly delicious. Thanks to healthy fats from the avocado and a high vegetable content, you get a colorful spectrum of nutrients and fiber . With this variety of flavors, you won't even notice that the pasta content is slightly lower than usual.
