Pasta salad

Easy, Leftovers, Vegetarian

Ingredients

• Small shaped pasta, penne, fusili, or farfalle

• Cucumber

• Tomato, a firm variety

• Chickpeas, canned or pre-cooked

• Lemon juice or good vinegar

And many optional “toppings”

• Cheese chunks

• Boiled Egg

• Herbs, like Basil

Steps

After boiling the pasta, drain it and let it sit a few minutes to dry up.

Cut everything into bite-sized pieces, and throw it in a big bowl. Make a vinagrette with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of lemon juice, a pinch of sugar or honey, and some salt.

Note

The chickpeas, pasta, and cheese are already salty, add only a bit considering the raw vegetables.

Toss everything together and serve either as is or let it chill first.
