Be the envy of the office when you enjoy this delicious and colorful Black Bean Pasta Salad for lunch! This is a healthy mid-day option that packs a nutritious punch, is simple to make, and it’s perfect for weekly meal prep since it can last for days in the fridge!

I love bringing salads to lunch for work. It’s great that the smell of this Black Bean Pasta Salad is very discrete, so you can even eat it at your desk if your day is super hectic without having the risk of inundating the whole office. Especially for my lunches, I like to create recipes that are ready in under 15 minutes because who’s got time to spend hours in the kitchen? Not me!

Best thing is that even though this is a meatless meal, you can rest assured you are giving your body enough protein. This Black Bean Pasta Salad packs 14g of protein per each 3/4 cup (just pasta alone) + it has only one ingredient (black bean flour). As a holistic nutrition & wellness coach, I couldn’t be happier with this recipe. Oh, and did I mention you don’t even have to heat it? Yes, this salad tastes even better cold.
