Easy to make and much healthier than those boxed pasta salads, my tasty Vegan Ranch Pasta Salad would be perfect for BBQs, potlucks or parties! Plus it’s vegan, gluten free!
While pasta is cooking, put the tempeh block in a bowl and mash it with a fork until crumbly. Then add tamari, apple cider vinegar, cumin, and garlic powder.
Add oil to large pan. Once heated, add tempeh crumbles and cook for about 5 minutes until heated and browned.
Make vegan ranch sauce (recipe below).
When pasta is done, add peas to cooked hot pasta and let sit for about a minute to heat up the peas.
Add carrots and sun-dried tomatoes to pasta.
Stir ranch sauce into pasta.
Mix in ½ of the tempeh (or feel free to use all of it if you want!).
