    i am always looking for new dinner recipes that are easy to make and delicious. this pasta pesto salad with sun dried tomatoes is my new favorite.

    i love to use chickpea pasta because it not only adds nutritional value but also tastes amazing too with all the other ingredients.

    the sun dried tomatoes add great acidity while the mozzarella brings it all together.

    if you're like me, you'll be makign this pasta pesto salad every week!

    main ingredients

    • pasta
    • pesto sauce
    • sundried tomatoes
    • mozzarella
    • basil

    frequently asked questions

    what is the best pesto sauce to use for this recipe?

    my favorite sauce to use if i'm not making it homemade is definitely trader joe's kale cashew pesto sauce. it's vegan but you wouldn't know it! i use it in these photos on this blog post. great for when you are in a time crunch! you can also make your own, such as my recipe for spinach basil pesto.

    what is the best pasta to use for this recipe?

    i love to use chickpea pasta but you can use any. some other favorites are red lentil pasta or brown rice such as tinkyada.

    how can i store this pasta salad for leftovers?

    store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. this meal is great to have throughout the week as a lunch or dinner if you don't have time to prep/make a meal.

    3 MAJOR 🗝s TO A GOOD CHEESE BOARD 🧀 1. high 3 MAJOR 🗝s TO A GOOD CHEESE BOARD 🧀

1. high quality cheese
2. the crunch factor (nuts and crackers)
3. something chewy!

for this board i used a fig and cashew @taltybar 🫶🏼 these two pair perfectly with brie, goat and cheddar cheese. i also added some fig jam and roasted cashews to highlight those flavors.

what would you put on your cheese board?
