      I love the pasta and asparagus but since I do not eat seafood - I wonder if this will still be as tasty? I would love to try it using pasta made from Kamut Khorasan Wheat since it is so healthy and tasty - I am thinking it will be great! Thanks for sharing 🙂

      I'm not experienced with avocados, but I've heard that you have to eat them as soon as you cut them or they turn color. Does the dressing on the salad prevent that, or am I better off not adding the avocado until right before serving? One batch of salad will last me several days...
