Turkey and Avocado Wraps & Confetti Pasta Salad


All recipes are part of the Healthy Calendar adventure!.

This is something you need to go home and make right now. Already home? Well, you still need to go to the store and then buy stuff and then come home and make this. We ate this for days after the fact because we still had fixin's and leftovers.

It's probably plain to see what this wrap consists of, but I'll give you the recipe for the awesome avocado sauce on top. For enough sauce for about 4 wraps, you need half an avocado, 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt (preferably low-fat or fat-free!), and "some" chili powder). Mash that all together with a fork and you have the best sauce ever.

We used whole-wheat tortillas, and topped them with deli-sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, ranch, and the avocado sauce, but you can fill them with anything you want!

For the pasta salad, you will need to cook about 2 cups of rotini (or whatever pasta, betta' be whole-wheat though!), and let it cool. Toss this with a cup of fresh or thawed frozen peas, a cup of diced carrot, a diced bell pepper, and a diced tomato. The homemade dressing was the usual: 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, a couple teaspoons of olive oil, "some" basil, and "some" salt and pepper.

(I keep saying "some" because I don't actually measure out a spice if it is less than a teaspoon. But if you're anal-retentive, all the "some"s in this recipe have been for 1/4 teaspoon.)

Drizzle dressing and toss! Enjoy!
