Greek Pasta Salad (Gf, Df)

February 13, 2019lunch, recipes

Lately, I’ve been obsessing over pasta salads. A lot of my day to day is spent on the go, so I am all about healthy lunch ideas that are easy to transport. I don’t enjoy spending hours in the kitchen when it comes to meal prep, and this recipe could not be easier to whip together. Pasta salads don’t require any additional heating when consuming and they are extremely versatile when it comes to ingredients. They pack in a ton of protein, which is always a plus for me. Mediterranean salads are my absolute favorite, so I thought I’d make them more enticing by adding noodles to the mix! This Greek Pasta is delicious when made with legume-based pasta, which keeps you fuller longer than regular pastas. What’s not to love?!

The olives, cucumbers, and tomatoes come together with the oil and spices to make a delicious, Greek inspired meal. I love to add a lot of arugula to the mix as well. It is my favorite green and adds a really nice flavoring. Being that I have a dairy intolerance, I have not included cheese in this recipe. If you do not need a dairy free recipe, you can absolutely add in some feta! Additionally, some toppings that would be great in this Greek pasta salad include grilled chicken, shrimp, avocado, hemp seeds, etc.

Let me know if you decide to make the Greek pasta salad and I would absolutely love to hear what you think! Leave a comment below if you add anything, as I would love to hear how it turns out for you. If you remake it on Instagram, remember to tag me at @matcha_and_margs so I can send the love and support right back. Enjoy 🙂

Hi! My name is Cori Finglass and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have a huge passion for health and wellness and my dream is to share that passion with others. Here you can find my favorite healthy recipes, tips on living a balanced life, honest recommendations and so much more!

ooooo baby. this dairy free chicken sausage lasagn ooooo baby. this dairy free chicken sausage lasagna with spicy tomato sauce is IT. did I mention it’s made with @palmini_official hearts of palm lasagna noodles?
it’s decadent, it’s cozy, and it just so happens to be low carb if that’s your jam.  for the sauce layer: cook @wholefoods ground mild Italian chicken sausage in a pan. once almost cooked, add in half of a package of organic mushrooms chopped finely. when the chicken and mushrooms are cooked, add in 1 jar of @raoshomemade arrabiatta sauce. cook on medium-low for a few minutes and add in the spinach. when the sauce starts bubbling, bring it to a simmer until you assemble the lasagna.  for the ricotta: i love making @minimalistbaker vegan ricotta which calls for blanched almonds which don’t require any soaking. i also add in fresh basil and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.  for the top: i used a half of a circle of @miyokoscreamery cashew milk mozzarella sliced thinly + fresh basil.  preheat your oven to 375F. in a 9x5 standard loaf pan, put a layer of the sauce. then top with six pieces of the @palmini_official lasagna noodles. top the layer of noodles with a layer of the vegan ricotta. repeat steps until you reach the top of the pan and you have a layer of sauce on top. top with the slices of mozz and bake for 40 minutes. broil for 5. when you remove the lasagna from the oven, spread the mozz with a knife and it will get all melty. top with fresh basil, slice and enjoyyy!
if you know me, you know i like to add a little he if you know me, you know i like to add a little heat to just about everything that i eat. these grain free chicken and waffles are no excuse! @lesserevilsnacks took their new delicious 'fiery hot' flavor and made power curls out of them. i used these as the breading for the air fried chicken to pair with my waffles. these new yummy snacks are filled with cassava flour, avocado oil, egg whites and more. i'll leave the air fryer chicken nugget recipe below so you can make this insanely good meal as well.⁠
⁠
air fryer chicken nuggs: put half the bag of @lesserevilsnacks fiery hot power curls in the food processor until ground. whisk 1-2 eggs and put it in a bowl. take two chicken breasts, cut them into cubes, dip each cube in the whisked egg and then dip in the @lesserevilsnacks fiery hot power curl breading. place the breaded nuggets in the air fryer and cook on 400F for 10 minutes. drizzle a little honey on top before eating; this adds the BEST touch to the fiery flavor.⁠

the before shot of the vegan birthday cake cookies the before shot of the vegan birthday cake cookies might just be my favorite. the recipe is from from @peanutbutterpluschocolate and it is definitely going to be on repeat for all of the celebrations over here. i made them gluten free for a friend by using gf all purpose flour; but have made them with regular all purpose flour and they both work great!⁠
for the sprinkles, i have been loving using the natural ones from @watkins.1868. they don't have any dies or funky ingredients; love to see it.⁠
if you are a birthday cake, sugar cookie, funfetti loving gal like me (and belated bday gal @nbcohen18), snag the recipe on ciarra's blog! they come out pretty massive - crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. such a great texture.⁠
happy friday, friends :)⁠

grain free breakfast BLTs for my mom and me were a grain free breakfast BLTs for my mom and me were a hit this morning
a toasted @soozysgrainfree bagel with @kitehillfoods chive almond milk cream cheese, lots of everything but the bagel seasoning, a @goodfoodmadesimple egg white patty seasoned with a little s&p, turkey bacon, sliced tomato and some spinach for good measure. 
isn’t she lucky??! jk — i’m definitely the lucky one! she’s the best taste tester and company to have around always. hi mom. 👋🏻
hope you have the best Thursday!
a lil sweet, lil savory — the perfect mix of bot a lil sweet, lil savory — the perfect mix of both for breakfast today 🙌🏻
for the waffles I used @birchbenders paleo mix with an added scoop of @sproutliving vanilla lucuma protein (my favorite — no funky aftertaste) and topped them with strawberries, @enjoylifefoods chocolate chips, hemp seeds and a little bit of maple syrup.
my favorite way to cook Turkey bacon is in the oven on 400 for around 14 minutes or in a pan with a little avocado oil to make the bacon pieces super crispy.
hope you all have a great hump daaay!
i think we can all agree that delivery services ha i think we can all agree that delivery services have been such a lifesaver over the past year — i know I’ve definitely been leaning on them more and more because convenience is truly key 💁🏼‍♀️ so excited to share that Atlanta now FINALLY has alcohol delivery through @drizlyinc! #drizly partners with local alcohol stores to deliver liquor, wine, beer, spirits and more to those of age in under 60 minutes. yes please!⁠
⁠
grab your sweat set, start the fireplace, because you don’t have to go any 👏🏻 where 👏🏻 to enjoy your next cocktail. and on the topic of convenience, I’m sharing a delicious cold brew cocktail recipe for your next brunch at home. you’ll need 1 part vodka, 2 parts baileys almond milk (delivered contactless through @drizly) and 3 parts cold brew. put everything into a cocktail shaker with ice and mix well to get that froth. throw in a splash of simple syrup or your favorite coffee sweetener. basically a lazy girls espresso martini 🍸⁠
⁠
download the @drizly app and get your favorite spirits delivered in an hour or less! cheers, friends. ⁠
