    Spring is here, and the best part about spring is that all the best salad ingredients are in season! I have been going crazy making all sorts of salad recipes and I am particularly excited about this one. This Vegan Lentil Pasta Salad with Radishes (High Protein) is my favorite pasta salad ever!

    Let's get into the recipe.

    This summer lentil pasta salad is

    What is the protein source in this recipe?

    This pasta salad gets its protein from both lentils and pumpkin seeds. I recommend using a grain based pasta (whole wheat, brown rice, etc) for this recipe to make it a complete protein source.

    1. Mix together veggies, lentils and pasta.
    2. Make your yogurt sauce and pour it over your salad.
    3. Mix again and dig in! This recipe is seriously SO easy.

      This is so good! I made it yesterday - used spinach pasta & red lentils in brine as they were available. Definitely going to be a staple in my repertoire- perfect for packed lunch at work

      I loved this recipe. Really great for summer because the mint dressing is very refreshing. At first I wasn't sure about it because I normally don't like mint, but I'm glad I added it, it really rounds out the taste and tastes super good with the coconut yoghurt. 100% would recommend!
