Spring Cucumber and Strawberry Pasta Salad

This is not your average strawberry salad. Liven up your spring and summer salad rotation with this cucumber strawberry pasta salad drenched in probiotic strawberry pepper jelly vinaigrette.

  • Prep: 15 minutes
  • Cook: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta, dry
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 small cucumbers, sliced
  • 3 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach and chard)
  • 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled
  • 1/2 an avocado, cubed
  • 1/2 cup strawberry pepper jelly vinaigrette

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions.
  2. While your pasta cooks, wash and slice the vegetables. Prepare the peas and crumble the feta. (see note on blanching frozen peas)
  3. Make the Strawberry Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette if you haven’t already.
  4. Drain the pasta when it is done cooking.
  5. Add everything to a large bowl and toss to combine.
  6. I like to serve with grilled chicken breast to make it a full meal.
  7. Please leave a five-star review if you loved this easy recipe!

Notes

  • To meal prep: combine everything except the salad dressing (I suggest leaving out the avocado when meal prepping too). Divide into four equal portions and store in air-tight containers in the fridge. Add two tablespoons of dressing right before eating.
