Caprese Pasta Salad
For a bright and flavorful addition to your next family picnic, prep a bowl of this Caprese Pasta Salad. Choose your favorite bite-sized gluten-free pasta (we love a good quinoa pasta!) and cool it down before tossing with a creamy balsamic dressing made with our Avocado Oil Mayonnaise. Fresh cherry tomatoes, baby mozzarella balls, basil, and pine nuts add tons of flavor to each and every bite.
