Ingredients
4 servings
- 8 ounces rotini or bowtie pasta (or pasta of choice -- gluten free, if desired)
- 1 batch vegan caesar dressing
- 2 hearts romaine, chopped
- 1 firm but slightly ripe avocado, diced or sliced
- 1 ½ cups halved cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups roasted chickpeas -- we love the Biena ranch flavor or sea salt (regular, unroasted chickpeas is also fine, but roasted will have more flavor)*

Preparation
Step 1
Boil the pasta according to directions on the package. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl.
Step 2
While pasta is cooking, you can make the vegan Caesar dressing. Once done, toss the dressing in the bowl with the cooked pasta until well combined.
Step 3
Next, add in the romaine, sliced avocado, halved tomatoes and roasted chickpeas; toss again until well combined. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Caesar salads usually need to have a decent amount of salt in order for the flavor to be spot on, so be generous with your salt and pepper! Serves 4.
