Green pasta salad is one of the most delicious and complete meals. The green sauce of this pasta salad is very low-calorie, low-fat, completely dietary, and delicious. You can easily make healthy pasta salad with green dressing at home.
This vegan green pasta salad is a fresh and delicious dish for summer because it is served cold and has a variety of colorful vegetables.
Adding vegetables to the pasta salad is optional. I used peas, corn, beans, carrots, pickles, and cilantro, which give a nice flavor to the pasta salad, and marinated all the ingredients.
In addition to adding these fresh vegetables to the pasta salad, I used different vegetables and tofu in the green sauce that I am giving you the link to in the video, and by mixing this green sauce with the pasta salad, it becomes a complete and nutritious meal.
Since green macaroni salad is served cold, it’s perfect for picnics or parties.
It is interesting to know that I also taught the recipe for pink pasta salad with attractive and different pink sauce, which is very suitable for celebrations and parties because the appearance of this pasta salad is very attractive and colorful.
Tips and tricks:
- Rinse the Pasta: After cooking the pasta, rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly. This helps prevent the pasta from sticking together and becoming overly soft.
- Marinate for Flavor: Let the pasta salad sit in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more delicious salad.
- Enjoy it Cold: Pasta salad is meant to be served cold, making it a great make-ahead dish for picnics, barbecues, and potlucks.
- Add protein: To make pasta salad a complete meal, add protein like tempeh, beans, or tofu.
- The pasta salad is ready in just 15 minutes, making it the perfect meal for those busy days when you’re looking for a quick and nutritious meal.
- To add more protein to your salad, consider tempeh, beans, and legumes.
- Experiment with different vegetables such as bell peppers, peas, cilantro, and spinach to add more color and texture.
- To enhance the crunchiness of the salad, sprinkle hemp seeds or nuts (if you are not allergic to nuts) on it.
- If you have any leftovers, store the High Protein Green Goddess Pasta Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- The green pasta sauce of this salad is easy, 100% vegan, low-calorie, and completely dietary. Because the main base of this green sauce is made from tofu, and adding garlic and fragrant vegetables, lemon, salt, and pepper, you can make an attractive green sauce at home, suitable for pasta salad and all kinds of sandwiches.
