Avocado BLT Pasta Salad

I made this for dinner last night. It made enough for three nice sized salads. I used a red onion and orange bell pepper. Salad was very pretty and just fresh lime juice makes it very refreshing. I find when making a lime dressed salad, it is best to let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving, then give a nice toss...brings out the flavors of each vegetable and the lime isn't overpowering.

This is a great side to grilled chicken or steak. I used green onions instead of a regular onion and I also used a red pepper instead of green. Used the leftovers the next day as a topping on nacho chips with melted cheddar cheese. Delicious!!
