Instructions
- Prepare cilantro-lime dressing: Place shallots, cilantro, garlic, pumpkin seeds, salt, pepper, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, olive oil, and lime juice into blender (except the olive oil) and process until smooth. Slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify. Portion: 1-1/2 Tbsp.
- Cook pasta according to package directions and set aside to cool. Toast pumpkin seeds in a preheated 350F oven for 5-10 minutes or toast in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly. Seeds will start to pop and be fragrant when ready, about 3 minutes.
- Once pasta has cooled down, place all salad ingredients into a bowl and toss with dressing.
