Gluten Free Pasta Salad With Olives and Herbs
Serves 610 mins prep10 mins cook
Pasta salads are usually not considered healthy despite the name, unless, of course, it is my gluten-free pasta salad with olives and herbs. I combine chickpea pasta, kalamata olives, and fresh basil in a creamy yogurt dressing with crunchy vegetables for a delicious, filling, and protein-packed meal. Best of all, I make it in just 20 minutes!
