WEIGHT WATCHERS BLT PASTA SALAD
This is a weight watcher recipe, and one of my favorites. My whole family loves this. It is only 3pts for 1 cup! I didn't see it posted anywhere, and thought I would share it. It is so simple and good. Servings are a guestimate, as my family doesn't have to stick to one cup.

Steps:
- First, cook the pasta.
- Meanwhile, put the mayonnaise and lime juice in a large bowl and stir.
- Chop the baby plum tomatoes and avocado and add to the bowl. Finely dice and add the red onion. You may also like to add some cooked chicken.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it, then pour cold water over it for a few minutes to cool it quickly. Drain it again and add it to the bowl.
- Finely chop as much fresh coriander as you like and sprinkle it over the top.
- Season with salt if desired and stir the pasta salad thoroughly to mix all the ingredients together. If you are using properly ripe avocadoes, stirring the mixture should blend some of the avocado flesh into the dressing to develop the flavour.
- Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocado, the creamier and more flavorful your salad will be.
- Use fresh, juicy tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they have fewer seeds and a more concentrated flavor.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs: Basil, cilantro, and parsley are all good choices. You can also add a bit of mint for a refreshing flavor.
- Use a light vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and a touch of honey is a good choice. You can also add a bit of Dijon mustard for a tangy flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
