Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta noodles I used chickpea pasta but any noodles will work
  • cup greek yogurt plain and unsweetened (I used 0%)
  • 1 lemon juiced (approx. 4 Tbsp)
  • 4 tablespoon dill finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 cucumber cut into small pieces
  • 15 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • Prepare the pasta al dente according to directions. Strain and let the noodles cool slightly (you want them to be almost room temperature when tossing them in the dressing).
    8 oz pasta noodles
  • Prepare the dressing while the pasta is cooking by mixing together the greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and sea salt in a cup or jar.
    ⅔ cup greek yogurt, 1 lemon, 4 tablespoon dill, ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the red onion, red bell pepper, cucumbers, and chickpeas (make sure to drain and rinse them). Pour the dressing over top and gently toss to combine
    ¼ cup red onion, 1 red bell pepper, 1 cucumber, 15 oz can chickpeas
  • Run some cold water over the pasta noodles if needed to loosen them up. Add the noodles to the bowl with the dressing and toss well to coat.
  • Serve cold with extra dill on top, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Storing : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. When ready to enjoy, add a splash of warm water and gently toss the noodles to loosen up the yogurt dressing.
