Tangy Chickpea Pasta Salad Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

The beautiful thing about pasta salad? You can tweak and customize it to your hearts content. In fact, you really dont need a recipe at all, which is exactly why were all for picking your favorite pastalike penne, bowtie, fusilli, or even macaroniand turning it into a veggie-packed pasta side dish to serve at every cookout, potluck, or casual supper. Cold pasta salad is something southerners like to bring to any big-batch event, rain or shine, especially classic renditions like creamy ham-studded macaroni salad and crunchy broccoli-and-grape pasta salad. In this not-your-mamas recipe, weve paired a lemony dijon-honey vinaigrette with orzo pasta, chickpeas, feta cheese, roasted eggplant, and chopped peppadew peppers for a pasta salad with major mediterranean flair. All of the flavors come together for a zingy side dish with just enough crunch, creaminess, and richness (from tender roasted eggplant) to send your usual pasta salad recipe to the bench, at least for the week.
