Ingredients
Pasta Salad:
- 2 cups gluten-free pasta noodles uncooked, of choice
- 1 cup peas I used frozen, shelled
- 1 cup cherry tomato
- 1 1/2 cups carrot shredded
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup lemon poppy seed dressing recipe below
- salt sea salt, to taste
Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing:
- 1/3 cup olive grapeseed, or avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced, large
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup pure
- lemon zest from 1
- 1 tablespoon mustard stone ground
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing:
- Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a small blender and blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
Prepare the Pasta:
- Cook pasta according to package instructions (I typically cook mine a couple minutes less than specified on the package because I like my pasta al dente). Once cooked, strain pasta and run lukewarm water over it. Allow pasta to cool.
- Add pasta and remaining ingredients for the salad to a large serving bowl. drizzle in 1/3 cup of the lemon poppy seed dressing (reserving the rest for future salads), and toss until everything is coated. Taste salad for flavor and add sea salt and/or more dressing to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- *You can replace the maple syrup with honey if you're fine with the recipe not being vegan.
