20 mins prepServes 4
The perfect summer dairy free pasta salad loaded with veggies and flavor! The author suggests adding chicken sausage or grilled chicken for extra protein.
Cook pasta according to box directions, saving pasta water for blending. Add all pesto sauce ingredients (packed basil, large avocado, big handful of spinach, diced yellow onion, cashews, pasta water, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, and pepper) to a blender and blend until smooth, adding more water if needed. To a large bowl, add the cooked pasta, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced yellow onion, and the prepared pesto sauce. Mix well and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
