Gluten-Free Vegan Pasta Salad with Tahini Dressing

For the tahini sauce / dressing:

Combine 1/3 cup tahini, juice from one lemon, 1 tsp ACV, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 tbsp evoo, 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt to taste in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Adjust water for desired consistency.

For the salad:

Cook your favorite pasta according to package instructions. Immediately rinse under cold water once cooked. Add the cooked and rinsed pasta to a large bowl. Add your choice of vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, peppers, roasted asparagus, and cucumber) to the bowl with the pasta. Pour in the prepared tahini dressing, give it a good toss, and enjoy! This pasta salad is great for meal prep and will last in the fridge for days; just give it a good mix or add a touch more dressing if needed before serving.
