Ingredients

Pasta Salad Ingredients

  • 1 box whole wheat fusilli*
  • 10 kalamata olives
  • 1/4 red onion, minced
  • 1 head kale, finely chopped
  • 2 small cucumbers, diced
  • 2 tbsp sundried tomatoes
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, chopped

Seasoning

  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 tbsp minced fresh garlic
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce, or coconut aminos

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to directions.
  2. Add in your chopped kale at the last 2 minutes to slightly cook. Once pasta is done, drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Toss pasta in seasoning ingredients and then add in the rest of your chopped veggies.
  4. You can eat this hot or cold, i think it tastes better the next day and has more flavor.
  5. *I use Einkorn pasta, its a non-hybridized wheat that is super easy to digest. If you use a gluten free pasta just know that it will harden in the fridge once it cools so it's best to eat this hot.
