Easy Healthy Pasta Salad

A lot of my recipes have been looking similar lately. Summer produce, raw, fresh, herbs. MOSTLY BECAUSE IT IS 300 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I CAN'T STOMACH ANYTHING THAT MAKES ME TURN MY OVEN ON.

This is truly SO flavorful, Mediterranean, and EASY. I used chickpea pasta for some extra fiber and protein but any pasta would work great!

ingredients:

• Chickpea Pasta (or pasta of choice)

• fresh basil

• fresh parsley

• fresh mint

• 1/4 cup olives

• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1/2 cup cucumber slices

• 2-3 chopped garlic cloves

• 1/2 thinly sliced red onion

dressing:

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp dijon mustard

• juice of 1 lemon

• salt, pepper

• garlic powder

• crushed red pepper flakes

instructions:

1. Cook pasta a little 1-2 minutes past the instructions on the box. You want it to be a little more than al dente.

2. Make the dressing and chop the fresh produce/ herbs.

3. Assemble the pasta salad and enjoy! If using chickpea pasta, this will only last 2-3 days, best consumed asap! Other pastas will last longer!
