Ingredients
- 8 ounces rotini pasta or bowtie pasta or pasta of choice (gluten free if desired
- 1 vegan caesar dressing
- 2 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
- 1 avocado firm but slightly ripe, diced or sliced
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomato halved or grape tomato
- 1 ½ cups chickpeas roasted (e.g. Biena ranch flavor or sea salt) or regular unroasted
- salt freshly ground, to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Boil the pasta according to directions on the package. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl.
- While pasta is cooking, you can make the vegan Caesar dressing. Once done, toss the dressing in the bowl with the cooked pasta until well combined.
- Next, add in the romaine, sliced avocado, halved tomatoes and roasted chickpeas; toss again until well combined. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Caesar salads usually need to have a decent amount of salt in order for the flavor to be spot on, so be generous with your salt and pepper! Serves 4.
Notes
- If you aren’t vegan: feel free to add ¼ cup parmesan (or vegan parmesan) to the recipe! I also recommend grilled chicken. My honey mustard chicken recipe would be fabulous!
- We love using these ranch flavored roasted chickpeas for extra crunch!
