The Best Grinder Pasta Salad
Servings: 8

12 oz pasta cooked and cooled, I like rotini or bowtie pasta- use chickpea pasta or whole wheat for higher fiber
2 cups cucumber diced (~1 large English cucumber)
2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
2 cups finely shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
1 cup sweet onion diced
1 cup banana peppers chopped
6 oz. deli turkey chopped
6 oz deli ham chopped
6 oz turkey pepperoni or salami chopped
6 oz provolone cheese chopped

Dressing:
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbsp honey
1 clove garlic finely minced or microplaned
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk together until fully combined. Add additional salt/pepper to taste.

In a large bowl, add the pasta salad ingredients: cooked pasta, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, sweet onion, banana peppers, turkey, ham, salami, and provolone cheese.

Pour the dressing over the pasta salad ingredients and toss gently to combine until the dressing evenly coats everything.

Notes
If you prefer no deli meat, you can use chopped turkey breast, chicken breast, or baked cubed ham.
For an added protein + fiber boost, choose a legume based pasta like Banza pasta or Barilla chickpea pasta.

To save time, you can also use a bottled Italian dressing.
