Caprese Pasta Salad
http://bit.ly/2S3Qsak Caprese pasta salad made healthy with protein-packed chickpea rotini, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, arugula, fresh basil and a delicious homemade balsamic dressing. This post is sponsored by Barilla®.
I’m back with another recipe that’s perfect for meal prep! I recently hosted a masterclass all about meal prep and SO many of you shared what you struggle with:
The list goes on! I’m making it my mission to make meal prep more approachable. I’m here to show you that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring. You can meal prep effectively without eating the same thing every week and without spending all day in the kitchen. Case in point: this pasta salad recipe that is perfect to make ahead! The entire recipe can be made in advance and if I’m being honest, tastes even better after marinating for a couple days.
The base of this caprese pasta salad is (you guessed it) my new favorite pasta, Barilla legume pasta. I used their gluten-free, protein-packed Chickpea Rotini, which is made with one simple ingredient – chickpeas. To top it off, Barilla legume pastas are an excellent source of fiber. It’s truly a triple threat. If you’re interested in seeing why I’m so hooked on it (or using it for this recipe) you can find Barilla’s legume-based pasta on Amazon.
Instead of only adding basil like a traditional caprese salad, we’re upping the green factor with baby arugula and spinach. The cherry tomatoes add extra flavor, a pop of color, texture and nutrients! And don’t forget the mozzarella balls… they will be missed.
Now let’s talk about this dressing. Ohhhh man I’m obsessed with this dressing. It’s my go-to balsamic dressing that you’ve seen time and time again here on EBF. I love the sweet and tangy flavor.
As I mentioned before this pasta salad is great for meal prep. Follow my three simple steps below to make the salad, then divvy up into separate meal prep containers. Put in the fridge and enjoy for multiple days! Of course, this salad is also perfect for potlucks and parties! The recipe makes plenty and everyone loves it.
