- 3/4 teaspoons organic cane sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon organic Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Step 1
Cook pasta according to directions. Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl to cool.
This recipe features organic fusilli noodles, but you could substitute spiralized zucchini noodles instead for a healthier, low carb alternative. - Step 2
In a glass mixing bowl, combine your dressing ingredients. Whisk together until fully combined.
The added coconut aminos add a savory, salty, umami flavor to the dressing. Feel free to add more depending on desired taste. - Step 3
Once your pasta has cooled, add in your vegetables, mozzarella, salami and parsley. Combine everything together well. Then, pour your dressing on and further mix until fully incorporated.
Adding higher protein sources such as shredded chicken or salmon would also be a great idea to pack in the protein to make this more of an entrée. - Step 4
Top with a sprinkle of Pluck and fresh green onions.
