Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cook the noodles in a large pot of lightly salted water for 8 minutes. I like to add a bit of olive oil to the water for boiling.
  2. Rinse noodles in cool water immediately to stop cooking process. You're going for an al dente' texture with the noodles.
  3. Chop the avocado, artichokes (drained), tomatoes and scallions.
  4. Toss into the bowl with above ingredients.
  5. For the dressing: Blend everything in a small-bowl food processor until uniform consistency is achieved. Toss with salad ingredients.
  6. Best when chilled for a few hours before eating.
  7. Enjoy!!
  8. NOTE: If you're making this ahead of time, wait until last minute to add the avocado. Just chop it up before you leave, toss it in some lemon juice, keep it cool in a Tupperware container and add it to the salad at the venue. Avocado likes to go bad pretty quickly!! -Kn0x-
