Low-Fat Black Bean-Pasta Salad (Vegan) image

This colorful creation has a lot more flavor and a lot less fat than traditional pasta salad. It's easy to throw together, and with lots of vegetables and vegetarian protein it can be served as a light entree or a hearty side dish, perfect for potlucks, picnics or packed lunches. It can easily be made gluten-free by subbing gluten-free pasta.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces whole wheat rotini
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 ounces sliced black olives, drained and rinsed
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 carrots, grated
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 fresh jalapeno, minced (or other hot pepper) (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
15 ounces chunky salsa (I like Pace)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a large bowl, mix the pasta, beans, and veggies.
  • Toss with salsa and lemon pepper. This can be served immediately, but the flavor is better if it is refrigerated for a few hours or overnight.
