Protein Pasta Salad with Marinated Beans (Vegan & Gluten Free options)

Cindy Sullivan, MPH, RD, CHES

Episode 052 Creamy, crunchy, savory, slightly tangy .  . .  this pasta salad hits all the right notes.  You don't even have to tell anyone it is good for them!!    This salad is easily made vegan by using vegan mayonnaise.  And gluten free pasta makes it gluten free.  It is wonderful to take  to gatherings as an option for vegan and gluten free friends.  No one will even know!  You  can increase the  protein further by using  a legume (lentil or chickpea) pasta.

The extra marinated beans are wonderful lunch.  You  will have plenty leftover - it only  takes  2  cups of beans for 4 ounces of pasta.  For the recipe go to https://foodsensitivitykitchen.com/episode052
