18 Vegan Pasta salad Recipes that are versatile and mouthwatering. They are great to serve for lunch or dinner. This collection varies from the classics, like macaroni salad and Italian pasta salad, to new ideas, like peanut and Hawaiian pasta salad.
Here are some Gluten-Free Alternatives
I have included fellow blogger recipes that don’t explicitly use gluten-free pasta since, it’s an easy switch to whatever your favorite brand of pasta is. You can find gluten-free pasta in most major supermarkets and online.
1. Vegan Italian Pasta Salad
A yummy veggie-filled lunch option is my Vegan Italian Pasta Salad. It is full of flavor, and your favorite protein option can be added to make it a full meal.
2. Balsamic Summer Pasta Salad by Veggie Inspired
