Pasta salads are almost always on the menu at least once a week at our place. They easily make their way to our brunches or lunches and sometimes even dinners. They are versatile and can be made light or hearty.<\/p>\n

These days, you can even make pasta salads that are low in carb and\/or calories (if you wish) thanks to the range of bean pasta<\/a>, konnyaku or shirataki noodles<\/a> that are available online and even at some regular grocery stores.<\/p>\n

This lentil pasta salad has simple ingredients and has a nice balance of flavours – earthy lentils, sweet grape or cherry tomatoes and sugar snap peas, peppery radishes and refreshing cucumber all bundled up with a mellow tangy balsamic dill vinaigrette.<\/p>\n

I also really love how this pasta salad comes together quickly.<\/p>\n

Lentil Pasta Salad with Balsamic Dill Vinaigrette<\/h2>\n

While the pasta is boiling, prepare the salad ingredients. Then drain and cool the pasta. Toss with cooked lentils, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, sugar snap peas, and the balsamic dill vinaigrette. Add in some freshly ground black pepper for some pungency. The balsamic dill vinaigrette is simple yet really flavoursome! I sometimes make a double batch to keep for the week and add to other salad bowls. Choose a good quality olive oil, it really makes a difference.<\/p>\n

Add dill pickles, olives, roasted vegetables (leftovers work great) for variation. Easy and simple, lunch or dinner sorted!<\/p>\n
