Veggie Pasta Salad with a Lemon Tahini Dressing (Edit recipe)

This pasta salad isn’t your typical pasta salad. It’s full of vegetables and tossed in a tangy tahini dressing. This dish will be something your BBQ or backyard gathering will love. It’s a delicious side dish that doesn’t require a lot of prep work. Cassava noodles soak up any excess liquid, so it’s important not to add the dressing to the salad until right before you serve it. This dressing is delicious; I recommend doubling it, so you can add extra or have more to add if there are any leftovers.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare the pasta according to the directions on the box. When it is cooked, drain, rinse and set it aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes. When they are tender, drain and place them in an ice bath.
In a small bowl, whisk the avocado oil, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, maple syrup, water, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and coconut aminos.
Set the dressing aside.
Toss the broccoli, green beans, zucchini, artichoke hearts, basil, and pasta in a large bowl.
Right before serving the pasta, drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together. The cassava noodles will soak up the dressing, so do not add it until right before serving.
