Pasta Salad

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let it cool briefly in a colander.

Meanwhile, heat the corn kernels with oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt and sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until the kernels are golden brown, slightly crispy, and lightly caramelized.

Wash the bell pepper and arugula, then dry them well using a salad spinner or by shaking. Cut the bell pepper and sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces.

Avocado-Feta Pesto

Wash the arugula, basil, and spinach thoroughly and dry them well.

Place them in a tall container along with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

Serve

In a large bowl, combine the pasta, arugula, roasted corn, sun-dried tomatoes, and bell pepper. Mix in the avocado-feta pesto until everything is evenly coated.

Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
