Vegan Lahanosalata is a vibrant Greek pasta dish featuring tender whole wheat pasta tossed with fresh cabbage, aromatic herbs, and a zesty lemon dressing. This dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making it a refreshing and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat pasta - 150 grams
• Green cabbage - 200 grams, finely shredded
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Red onion - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• Fresh parsley - 30 grams, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (optional)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse under cold water to cool it down. Add the pasta to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
5. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables, and toss everything together until well combined. If using, sprinkle nutritional yeast on top and mix gently.
6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
