Этот Салат из макарон с бальзамической заправкой is a simple high-protein salad that can be made in large batches to prepare a whole week of healthy lunches. With over 25g белка, it’s perfect to reach your protein needs on a vegan or vegetarian diet.
I was planning my meal prep for the week when I saw a bag of chickpea pasta in my pantry, so I knew I was going to make a chickpea pasta based lunch. I enjoy eating salads for lunch, like my Веганский салат из кускуса or Веганский салат с тако, so I knew where I was heading.
I like to alternate the inspiration for my lunch, so this time I wanted a combination of Italian and Greek flavors, so I went for vegan Feta, sundried tomatoes, and Balsamic vinegar. I was so surprised to see that each serving comes with over 25g of protein.

Ингредиенты и замены
- Паста с нутом – You can use any pasta you like, but I usually go for high-protein gluten-free pasta like chickpea pasta, lentil pasta, or edamame pasta. They taste like classic wheat pasta with more that double the protein.
- Нут – Chickpeas bring Mediterranean flavors to the salad, but you can also use black beans or pinto beans.
- Томаты черри – I use cherry tomatoes from my garden, but you can also use regular tomatoes chopped into small cubes.
- Огурец – English or Lebanese cucumber.
- Черные оливки – Any olive color works, but black and kalamata are the best for flavor.
- Вяленые помидоры – If they come in long strips, cut them into smaller bits.
- Vegan Feta Cheese – Pick a vegan feta cheese alternative that is made to be eaten cold as some brands are more for melting.
- Свежие листья базилика – For Italian flavors.
- Руккола – Arugula have a slightly spicy taste, but you can also use lettuce or baby spinach.
- Red Onion – You can also use regular onions or fried onions if you don’t like them raw.
Бальзамическая заправка для салата
- Оливковое масло – For full flavor, use extra-virgin olive oil.
- Чеснок – Fresh crushed garlic is the best.
- Бальзамический уксус – For more Italian flavor. You can use other types of vinegar, but it won’t be as flavorsome.
- Дижонская горчица – For a little zing.
