This delicious pasta salad from The Vegan Way is full of plant-based power! It’s simple, affordable, and absolutely delicious.
Salad Ingredients
- Vegan pasta
- I used a quinoa and brown rice version due to the higher protein content
- Curly kale, stems removed, chopped into bite-size pieces
- A large tomato, chopped
- An avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
- A can of beans
Dressing Ingredients
- Whole grain mustard
- Balsamic vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
- Sweetener of choice (brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey)
- Oil (Olive is best)
- A bit dried basil
- For more flavor, use fresh basil and dry it in a toaster oven
- Freshly ground black pepper
Simply cook your desired amount of pasta and add the kale at the end.
Next, drain the pasta and kale and add the beans, chopped tomato, and avocado.
Finally cover with the dressing and place in the fridge until cool.
What I love about this recipe is the flexibility of measurements and versatility.
