Gluten Free Veggie Pasta Salad

November 14, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

All right, I know it’s almost Thanksgiving and for many parts of the world it’s already cold enough outside to be wearing heavy jackets and mittens, but here in southeast Texas the weather is kind of amazing 🌞 It’s been warm and mild during the day and chilly at night, but not so chilly that I’m freezing my vegan butt off. So even though pasta salad feels more like a spring or summer dish, I’m gonna put it out there anyway because this pasta salad is really delicious and healthy and filling.

For starters, this pasta is gluten free and contains minimal ingredients. I love that. Then it gets tossed in a tangy dressing and topped with tons of delicious veggies. I even added some pre-seasoned, pre-cooked tofu crumbles for added texture and protein πŸ™Œ

This Gluten Free Pasta Salad is perfect for lunch with friends or for making a huge batch to provide you with quick on-the-go meals for the rest of the week. It’s an easy way to get those veggies in πŸ…πŸ‹ if that’s something that’s a struggle for you 😜

Oh bright yellowy goodness πŸ’›Β πŸŒž (That would be homemade cashew cheese sauce y’all)

I came up with this recipe on the fly because I wanted something filling and easy to make that I could store in the fridge and eat for several days with zero effort to prepare. And so this cheesy Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole was born πŸ‘Ά

It’s got loads of protein coming from the Beyond Meat chicken strips and quinoa, good fats from the cashews, and anti-inflammatory properties in the turmeric. Plus, it’s utterly delicious and you will wolf it down faster than you can blink 🐺 Not to mention, like all of my other recipes, it’s vegan and gluten free!

Eggplants are my spirit animal βœ¨πŸ† I mean wait… but you get what I’m saying, right? Eggplants are my jam right now, not literally but maybe eggplant jam is an actual thing to look into πŸ˜†

I’ve liked eggplant for a while now, but it wasn’t until I lived in Beijing and discovered a dish with white rice, potatoes, and eggplant smothered in a delicious sauce that I realized Hey, eggplants are super cool and a good meat substitute. I should eat them more often. Enter this saucy (literally) recipe for Eggplant Parmesan Casserole. Hearty brown rice, garlic sauteed eggplant slices, savory tomato sauce, and melted vegan cheese all in the form of a comforting and satisfying casserole.

Fully Loaded Vegan Baked Potato

Okay friends, this is not a baked potato in the traditional sense. There is no microwave involved or poking holes in the potato with a fork. I know. I’m such a liarΒ πŸ™ˆ The main reason for the name of this recipe is the toppings associated with a traditional baked potato.

This dish is a delicious mess of tangy potatoes, melted cheese, crunchy chives, bacon, mushrooms, and instead of sour cream – my ultra amazing Magic Sauce. This recipe is so filling that I’ve eaten it by itself many times. However, it goes great with steamed broccoli and fresh lemon, salad, or whatever else your heart desires πŸ’–
