Ingredients
- 1 box chickapea pasta SALAD
- 1 yellow or orange sweet pepper finely sliced SALAD
- 1 cup broccoli florets, lightly blanched* SALAD
- 1 cup corn kernels** SALAD
- Half a red onion, finely chopped SALAD
- Garnish: Sprouts, microgreens or fresh basil SALAD
- 1 avocado DRESSING
- 1 garlic clove DRESSING
- 1/2 cup fresh basil DRESSING
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds DRESSING
- 1/4 cup lime juice DRESSING
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil DRESSING
- Sea salt and pepper to taste DRESSING
Instructions
- In a large salad bowl, combine all the salad ingredients (excluding the pasta). Save garnish for topping once you've adding the dressing.
- Using a food processor, add all of the dressing ingredients and blend until creamy. If the avocado you're using isn't soft, you may need to add a touch more liquid to make it creamier. In that case, you can add more olive oil or some water.
- While you're making the dressing, boil a large pot of water and add the Chickapea pasta. Bowl until al dente. Remove from hot water immediately and either put in a bowl of cold water or run under cold water.
- Combine the salad ingredients, with the pasta and mix together with the dressing. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving or enjoy immediately if you can't wait that long ;)
