About this Recipe
By: Stevie Kennedy
This recipe is so fresh! It is perfect for prepping for the week ahead to have an easy meal waiting for you. It is packed full of protein and fiber from the type of pasta used. I love to use Banza pasta or a red lentil pasta to get that extra fiber and protein. I find it to taste great but also keep me feeling fuller for longer.
Ingredients
- 8oz box of a Chickpea Pasta (I like Banza)
- 1/2 cup Cherry Tomato’s
- 1 Cucumber
- 1/2 Red Onion
- 1/3 Cup Green Olives
- 1/4 cup Feta Cheese
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 cup Applewood smoked salami
- 1/2 Bottle Primal Kitchen Italian Dressing
This recipe hits the spot. The Italian dressing on this makes the whole salad, as dressing usually does! Which is why I use a high quality dressing like primal kitchen. The ingredients are next level and it tastes great. I like to make this as my lunch for the week. It saves me so much money by having a prepared meal ready to go. The fresh veggies in it add a nice crunch and is a good way to get some extra vegetables in, in a way that tastes great!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Bring water to a boil and salt water. Add chickpea pasta to the water and bring temperature down to a simmer. Stir occasionally and let cook for 8-10 min or as directions on the box states.
Step 2
Chop all vegetables in half and slice smoked salami into small pieces.
Step 3
Once pasta is cooked, drain from water and rinse in a strainer. Then add pasta to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add all chopped vegetables, smoked salami, and feta cheesee to the bowl of pasta.
Step 5
Lastly add the primal kitchen Italian dressing on top. Mix it all up and then place in the refrigerator to cool down.
Step 6
Leave over night and enjoy for lunch the next day! (If you want it the day you make it, let it sit in the refrigerator for one hour).
