Ingredients

FOR THE DRESSING

FOR THE SALAD

  • 12 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 pound short pasta I used fusilli
  • 2 15-ounce cans white beans drained & rinsed, see notes
  • 7 ounces vegan feta cubed or crumbled, I used Trader Joe's
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil torn
  • balsamic glaze for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Add the dressing ingredients to a large salad bowl. Whisk for a couple minutes. Add the tomatoes and let them marinate in the dressing while you prep the rest of the salad.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • To assemble, add the chilled pasta, white beans, 1/2 of the feta, spinach, parsley and basil to the tomatoes & dressing. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste and add salt & pepper if needed. Top the salad with the rest of the feta, more basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

  • I used great northern beans, but you could also use chickpeas or butter beans.
