How to Make this Paleo + Vegan Pasta Salad
Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain, and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside in a bowl to cool.
Once it almost reaches room temperature, toss with the remaining salad ingredients. Β
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients.
You can also put the ingredients in a tightly lidded mason jar and shake well (my go to for vinaigrettes!)
Drizzle the dressing all over the pasta salad and gently stir to coat.Β
Season with a bit of salt and black pepper if desired. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Where to Find Vegan Feta Cheese
I had no idea vegan feta cheese existed until recently! Β I’ve been using the feta style crumbles from Follow Your Heart, which I found at Whole Foods.
You can also get a block of vegan feta to chop from Violife, which is amazing as well.
Trader Joe’s also now carries vegan feta style cheese!
I hope you’re ready for a seriously delicious paleo + vegan pasta salad that’s perfect for picnics, lunches, and even a light dinner.
