Pasta Salad with Refreshing Shiso Leaves with Mild Avocado and Sesame step by step

1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water. I used some cute ribbon shaped farfalle this time..
2. Cut the avocado in half. Mash half into a cream like consistency. Cut up the other half into 1cm dice. Sprinkle lemon juice over both to prevent discolorization..
3. Grind up the sesame seeds in a suribachi (Japanese grinding bowl) or with a mortar and pestle. Finely shred the shiso leaves..
4. Mix all the ☆ ingredients with the creamed half of the avocado..
5. Put the boiled pasta in the mixture from Step 4 and combine well..
6. Lightly fold in the reserved diced avocado and the shiso leaves to finish. (Make sure not to crush the diced avocado.).
7. I used farfalle this time, but fusilli or rigatoni work well too..
8. "Easy Sweet Potato and Egg Salad" also has tons of sesame seeds in it..
