episode 3 of meal prep lunches that crush 👏🏼 HIGH-PROTEIN ANTIPASTO PASTA SALAD with creamy shallot vinaigrette! YOU GUYSSSSSSSSS! I think this is my new favorite recipe of 2024. It’s got everything you’d find on an antipasto platter, but with pasta and a dressing so good you’ll want to pour it on your whole life. Ok, maybe that part is an exaggeration, but you get the point. I chose this recipe to be part of the meal prep series because nothing gets soggy and the flavors really soak into the pasta as the days go by. I used chickpea pasta to really load it up with protein, so it actually keeps you full—but obviously just use what you have on hand. If you make this, be sure to tag me so I can repost your creations :)⁣

Makes 6 servings ⁣
Pasta salad:⁣
8oz pasta of choice (I used one box of @eatbanza)⁣
1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed⁣
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved⁣
1 cup sweet baby peppers, sliced⁣
1/2 cup kalamata olives, halved⁣
1 cup hard salami, chopped⁣
1/2 cup pepperoncini, sliced⁣
3/4 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, freshly grated⁣
⁣
Creamy Shallot Vinaigrette:⁣
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil⁣
3 tb red wine vinegar⁣
2 tb lemon juice ⁣
1 tb dijon mustard ⁣
1 large shallot, chopped⁣
3 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
1 tsp Italian seasoning⁣
1/2 tsp kosher salt⁣
1/2 tsp ground black pepper⁣
⁣
First, prepare the dressing. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside and move on to the salad. Cook pasta according to package instructions, but 2 minutes earlier than what it says on the package (you want the pasta to be firm and not soggy!). Drain, rinse and add to a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Pour the dressing on top, toss to coat very well and enjoy!⁣
