Protein Pasta Salad (low-calorie, vegan)

Filling.

Super good. Subbed the white wine vinegar for red wine vinegar & lemon juice and it came out perfect. And the lettuce adds a unique texture to it. Definitely will make this again!

A cautionary tale-I snacked the cashews into oblivion before getting around to preparing the cashew dressing- I'm sure that threw the taste off. And if you're like me and you ignore the packaging and don't boil the edame it comes out waaay too fibrous. So maybe my distaste for this dish is my own fault but I really didn't care for it. I found it bland and annoyingly chewy. ::shrug::

I added ham and it was perfect for my lunches throughout the week!

Peppers were substituted with sweetcorn.

Delicious and filling salad. Prep time for me was 35 minutes. It's definitely a high protein salad, as well as carbs.

Really like the cashew dressing! Light but flavourful lunch but probably could have done more carbs.

great! pretty easy and fast

Could use a bit more seasoning but overall is good and quick

Good way to get in some raw veggies! The idea for the pasta is good but the sauce is all wrong. The cashew base works but the vinegar/sweet/salt factor is off. Also added onion and a little feta.

Maybe it's because we tried to double the recipe, but the dressing had way too much vinegar. Ended up adding a pre-made Italian dressing and loved it. We also added cucumber, corn niblets, and plant based chicken substitute. Delicious!! Even kid approved.

Changed from romaine to cabbage to make it store better. Loved the dressing more than I expected.

Very good!

I used the veggies i had at home: zucchini, bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Added olives and lima beans. Used sunflower paste as a base for the sauce. Topped with basil. Very yummy.

It was good the first day and I liked the dressing but didn't last very long in the fridge in a container before it went bad. Not a good meal prep salad.

Pretty easy meal

I added corn, removed the tomatoes and edemame (couldn't find any) Honestly great, filling, we even had leftovers which is great! I added some honey to my sauce to cut the vinegar taste

This was good. Dressing was amazing. Didn't put nutritional yeast coz it was expensive. I can't find edamame so replaced it with green peas and It still turned out great.

Very good, will definitely make again! The dressing was a little sweet for my taste so I will use less sweetener next time, but it definitely didn't ruin the dish.

Really pops with the edamame! Makes awesome leftovers as it gets to marinate overnight. Great in a bowl with feta cheese on top and some red wine vinegar. Awesome for a carb load before endurance training too!
