Ingredients:
- 1 pound of your favorite pasta (we recommend using whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthier twist)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse with cold water to cool it down.
A Diverse Blend of Fresh Vegetables:
Incorporating the vibrant colors and flavors of the Mediterranean, this pasta salad celebrates the rich tradition of Mediterranean cuisine. Packed with an array of fresh vegetables like juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, vibrant bell peppers, and briny olives, each bite is a burst of flavor that will leave you craving more.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, basil leaves, and parsley.
Creamy and Delicious Dressing:
To tie all the elements together, we craft a dairy-free dressing that is both creamy and refreshing. Using ingredients like tahini, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, this dressing adds a delightful creaminess to the salad, while still keeping it light and fresh. Drizzle it over the pasta salad, and watch the flavors come alive, creating a truly memorable dining experience.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be the dressing for your salad.
Protein-Packed Plant-Based Proteins:
To add a satisfying element to this pasta salad, we turn to protein-packed plant-based alternatives. From chickpeas to lentils and tofu, these cruelty-free options offer a wholesome and nutritious twist to the traditional pasta salad. Not only do they provide a substantial boost of protein, but they also add a delightful texture and depth to the dish.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are well coated.
5. For the best flavors, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the ingredients to marinate and the flavors to meld together.
A Symphony of Mediterranean Flavors:
The essence of Mediterranean cuisine lies in its bold and diverse flavors. To bring this pasta salad to life, we use a harmonious blend of herbs and spices like fresh basil, oregano, garlic, and tangy lemon juice. These ingredients add a zesty note, elevating the overall flavor profile and transporting you to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean with every bite.
6. Serve chilled and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!
With its fresh and vibrant ingredients, this Mediterranean Vegan Pasta Salad is the perfect dish to satisfy your cravings for something healthy, hearty, and bursting with flavor.
