My Chickpea Orzo Salad Recipe!

February 15, 2023

I definitely have summer on my mind after these really cold days! There’s truly nothing I love more than a pasta salad in the summer so this recipe is getting me in my feels. I turned chickpea orzo salad recipe into a summer staple and really it became and instant hit.

Pasta salads can get really receptive and seem all the same after awhile but this one pairs chickpeas with a lemon vinaigrette and is just so yummy! You could even turn this into a meal and just pair some protein like grilled chicken with it on top!

chickpea orzo salad

Ingredients

1 lb orzo

1 can chickpea

1/2 red onion diced finely

2 tomatoes diced

2-3 mini cucumbers diced finely

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp basil

1/4 c olive oil

juice from 1 full lemon

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp fresh minced garlic

1 tsp oregano

salt & pepper

red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Cook orzo according to package. Once cooked, drain and then put in a big bowl.
  2. Mix in chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, nutritional yeast, basil & parsley.
  3. Assemble vinaigrette by wishing together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic, garlic, oregano & salt + pepper.
  4. Combine bowl with dressing and mix thoroughly. Let cool and serve with red pepper flakes on top!

I love a good pasta salad and this chickpea orzo salad is delicious! Its so refreshing with the lemon juice in the dressing! The protein from the chickpeas helps to elevate this and make it even more filling!

My Vegan Burger Recipe!

September 5, 2022

It has been a true journey to find a meatless burger that I actually love from the grocery store. With so many options to now choose from, it’s honestly a little overwhelming. I’ve finally perfected my vegan burger recipe using none other than Beyond Burgers and this is too good to not share.

I’m a big believer of eating whatever you want but trying to at least elevate it a little and make it healthier. This burger recipe is dressed to the nines with nutrients but also other just yummy traditional flavors.

Ingredients

Brioche Bun (love the brand Bakerly)

Beyond Burger

Vegan Sliced Cheese

Ketchup

Mayo

Bread & Butter sliced pickles

Red Onion

Sliced Tomato

Butter Lettuce

Directions

  1. Obviously cook the burger following the directions on the packaging but also toast the bun at this time too! Whether you pop it in the oven or on the grill, watch it till it gets toasted to your liking. (this is essential)
  2. To assemble, mix mayo and ketchup on the toasted burger and let it melt. Add the vegan cheese beyond burger and layer tomato, onion, pickles and lettuce on top.
  3. Enjoy!!

I used to hate burgers because I thought they were so bland. This recipe seriously gives you the nutrients you need but also makes it taste so good. I’m a firm believer that the Beyond Burgers taste better than regular beef because they cook just so well.

If you loved this vegan burger recipe, try pairing it with my summer pasta salad that is to die for! I also have been posting again on Pinterest so be sure to check me out there!
