Mediterranean Pasta Salad

It’s June, so it’s pretty much summer. Here in Ohio, it’s been in the high 80s for the last week so all of us have been avoiding those hearty-heavy meals. So now I am turning to pasta salad, it’s light, and you can pack it with all your favorite colorful veggies. This pasta salad takes a Mediterranean approach, focusing on our veggies & healthy fats!

Ingredients

• 1 Package of a Pasta of your choosing, I used Chickpea Protein Pasta
• 1/2 Cucumber, sliced & quartered
• 1/4 Cup Kalamata Olives
• 1/4 Cup Green Olives
• 1/2 Red Onion, sliced
• 1/2 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, sliced
• 1/3 Cup Artichokes, chopped
• 1/4 Cup Olive Oil + more if needed
• 2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 TSP Parsley
• 1 TSP Oregano
• Salt & Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

Cook your pasta according to package directions and rinse.

Prep all the ingredients

In a large bowl, add in the pasta + cucumber + olives + red onion + tomatoes + artichokes and mix well.

Pour over the olive oil + red wine vinegar + oregano + parsley + salt + pepper and mix well.

If you’re making this for meal prep, separate your salad into individual containers. Or share with a group of family and friends.
