Green Goddess Pasta Salad

You could easily call this salad “summer in a bowl”! Made with peas, avocado, spinach and herbs, it has the kind of bright flavor that really refreshes on hot summer days and a laid-back preparation to match. Tailor the stir-ins to your own tastes by using the herbs you like, or the ones you have on hand. You’ll find green goddess is amenable to most any herb—though chives, parsley and tarragon are considered classics—and don’t forget the lemon juice, garlic and creamy ingredients (mayo and sour cream) that give this dressing its bright and creamy flavor. The combination of green goddess, pasta and protein-rich ingredients—like chick peas and spinach—make this a one-dish dinner you’ll want to eat on repeat.
