Bright and colorful pasta salad drizzled with a creamy cilantro dressing is a perfect side dish for summer. This cold pasta salad is healthy, flavorful, and packed with fresh vegetables. The dairy-free cilantro sauce is a nice fresh break from heavier dressings and the usual Italian pasta salad recipes. This is a great meal option for vegetarians or vegans. For those who are not gluten-free, you can substitute with classic penne pasta.
Ingredients
Prep
- In a large bowl, combine your diced vegetables and pasta together and mix.
- In a high powered blender or food processor combine yogurt, cilantro, lime, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Divide your pasta salad into bowls and drizzle your blended yogurt dressing on top. Toss and garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Note: We recommend waiting to add your dressing until a couple minutes before serving to avoid pasta getting soggy.
