Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups chickpea pasta cooked
  • 2 cups cucumbers chopped

Oil-Free Hummus Dill Dressing

  • 1/4 cup hummus oil-free
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 lemon zest or more
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar white or rosé
  • 1 tsp dill
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare chickpea pasta according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  • Dice cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.

Make the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together hummus, water, lemon zest, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Combine Everything

  • Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the cucumbers. Pour the dressing over and toss until everything is well coated.
  • Let the salad sit in the fridge for 15-20 minutes (if you can, as this part is very hard) to enhance the flavors. Serve chilled and enjoy!
