I made this with the ingredients I had on hand (reg. tomatoes, not cherry; lime, not lemon, wheat penne, not shells) and it came out great. Very light and the avocado and pasta make it filling. When I go to the store, I will try it as it was meant to be, but really delicious nonetheless!

This salad is meant to be seasoned to your taste, so take the time to take a bite before refrigerating. This is a very crisp, fresh salad that can easily be improvised. You could sub out tuna for chicken instead or just add your favorite dressing. [I posted this recipe.]
