Vegan 15 Minute Pasta Salad

This is one of our go-to meals after a busy day in the So Vegan HQ. It takes almost no time at all, and it simply never gets boring.

  • You can use any pasta you like. And if you want to make this recipe gluten-free just opt for a gluten-free pasta.
  • This pasta is a great meal prep option. Simply refrigerate it for up to 3 days and take it with you in an air tight container.
