In a small bowl, put your dry ingredients first - garlic powder, salt and pepper. Next your liquids - olive oil, pomegranate vinegar and agave syrup. Mix it until combined. Make sure to taste if you need more salt or sweetness. If it’s too strong, you may add 1 tbsp of water. Set aside.

Step 5

Once your pasta is done cooking, you may rinse in cold water. Put your pasta in the large bowl. On top, put olives, crepes, red onions, cherry tomatoes and mix it until combined.

Step 6

Next, grab your vegan feta of choice and cut in small cubes and put them in the large bowl along with the arugula and roasted red peppers.
