Be prepared for the week ahead with this simple + flavorful vegan pasta salad! Easy to pull together, this pasta salad can be made from start to finish in 20 minutes, leaving you more time to relax before you start your workweek.
Bring water to a boil. Drop in rotini spiral pasta and cook for 9 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, slice bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and parsley. Add to a large mixing bowl along with cheese, and stir to combine.
In a separate, small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients; set aside.
Once pasta is finished cooking, strain noodles and add to veggie mixture. Stir until combined well; the cheese should begin to melt slightly. Slowly stir in dressing and mix until all pasta is covered. Can be served immediately OR divided into meal prep containers for the week ahead.
Notes
Make this pasta salad gluten-free by using gluten-free rotini noodles, or another noodle of your choice.
For extra flavor, throw in some sliced black or green olives, banana peppers, or jalapenos.
