This is a recipe for Healthy Vegan Pasta Salad. I came up with this recipe when I was in a bind for time, but I wanted something delicious and moderately healthy. Now that I’ve had this, I want it every day! It has so many textures and is packed with protein. The chickpea pasta makes it creamy without having to add any cream or extra fat! Let me know how you like it!

-
Cut tomatoes into quarters.

Boil Explore Chickpea Fusilli according to packaging instructions.

(Note: you can use chickpea shells for this if you don't want to use fusilli, but I like the shape better. You can also add in whatever spices or herbs you like. I think fresh diced basil or parsley would be amazing)
