Easy Gluten-Free BLT Pasta Salad
A healthy, protein packed version of the classic sandwich (without the carb crash).
Ingredients
- 8 oz Banza pasta
- 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 green onion chopped fine
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup hummus
- 1/2 Tbs garlic powder
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup spinach chopped
- 1/3 cup red onion diced fine
- 8 slices turkey bacon low sodium, uncured if possible
Instructions
- Prepare the water for cooking the pasta according to the instructions on the box.
- While the water heats up prepare the vegetables and spices, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside
- Cook the turkey bacon and dab with a paper towel when finished to absorb any extra oil. Allow to cool before cutting the bacon into 3/4 - 1" pieces.
- Add the bacon and rest of the ingredients to the bowl of prepared veggies, and finish cooking the pasta.
- When the pasta is finished, drain well and rinse with cold water. If you will be serving the pasta immediately, rinse the pasta until it has cooled completely. Then combine with the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Mix well until the yogurt and hummus has completely covered the ingredients.
- Serve immediately, or store in the fridge for several days (depending on the date of your yogurt).
