Directions:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, add the tortellini, then cook acccording to package directions. About 30 (to 60) seconds before the pasta is finished cooking, stir the asparagus and broccoli pieces into the pot. Finish cooking, drain, and run under cold water just long enough to stop the cooking. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to dress and serve.
- To make the dressing, mash the garlic along with a big pinch of salt to make a paste, using the flat side of a heavy knife. Whisk together the garlic paste, lemon juice, olive oil, and more salt, if needed. Set aside.
- Note: I just make the drressing in a mini food processor, not mashing the garlic into a paste first.
- When ready to serve, toss the pasta and vegetable mixture with the cilantro and about half of the dressing. Add more dressing if needed, then add the sprouts, nuts, and avocado. Toss again very gently a couple of times to distribute everything, then serve. Use the extra dressing to refresh leftovers the next day.
