Pasta salad with chickpeas and vegetables
Pasta salad with chickpeas and vegetables works best when the pasta is drained well and cooled before the fresh vegetables are folded in. A lemon-and-oil dressing keeps the ingredients distinct rather than heavy.
This makes two substantial lunches. Use canned, cooked chickpeas; dried beans need their own complete preparation and are not a direct swap.
Choose a pasta shape with enough structure for mixing. For a gluten-free version use a suitable labeled pasta and follow its own cooking time; the texture after chilling can differ.
