Gluten Free Pasta Salad

Summer is the season for cookouts and bbqs. As a vegan it is very common to get invited somewhere and discover there is absolutely zero options available for you to eat besides potato chips and fruit lol. Whether you are vegan or not this is a great recipe to have at a cook out to please everyone. Not only will meat eaters and vegans enjoy it, but those who live a gluten free lifestyle can indulge in this dish as well!



Ingredients:
16 oz of gluten free pasta (I used quinoa pasta)
3 celery stalks
1 red onion
2 roma tomatoes
1 cup of olives 
2 to 3 tbsp of vegan mayo
1 cup of Italian vinaigrette 
salt and pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
paprika

Directions:
1. Boil gluten free pasta using the directions on the box, drain and soak in cold water to prevent the noodles from cooking more or sticking together.
2. Once the noodles are chilled place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Dice celery, onion, tomato, and olive and toss with the pasta.
4. Add vegan mayo, Italian vinaigrette and all the seasoning according to your liking.
5. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly and allow to cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

This is a great dish to have on hand just in case you get in a situation where there are no vegan options and you want something to fill your belly up. If you want to keep it lower in fat you can ditch the vegan mayo and use a tad more Italian dressing. Here are a bunch of my other vegan recipes that are also great ideas to bring to a cook out!

I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you try it out tag me on Instagram @veganhigh to let me know!

*Peace begins with your plate*
