Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta and Fruits
  • 8 oz pasta (cooked and cooled)
  • 2 cups mixed fruits (e.g., strawberries, grapes, blueberries, kiwi)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
Dressing
  • 1 cup whipped cream or cool whip
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mint leaves optional for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Begin by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down.
Preparing Fruits
  1. While the pasta cools, wash and chop your fruits into bite-sized pieces.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped fruits, and mini marshmallows.
Preparing Dressing
  1. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whipped cream, honey (or agave syrup), and vanilla extract until well-blended and creamy.
Combining
  1. Gently fold the dressing into the pasta and fruit mixture, ensuring every bit is coated.
Chilling
  1. For an even more refreshing experience, let your salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving.
Serving
  1. Add mint leaves for garnish when ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The pasta may absorb some dressing, so consider adding more whipped cream before serving again.
