Gluten Free Pesto Pasta Salad and lots of recipes

This Pesto Pasta Salad is super delicious and healthy.  I used brown rice rotini so it is gluten free, but you can use any type of pasta you like.

Pesto Pasta Salad

• 1 lb pasta cooked al dente in salted water and rinsed well
• 1/2 cup Pesto
• 1 cup Vegan Mayo
• 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (do not drain)
• 1/2 c roasted red peppers, chopped 
• chives or other fresh herbs for garnish 
• balsamic vinegar to taste
• lots of freshly ground pepper to taste
• smoked sea salt to taste 
• pinch marjoram
• pinch coriander
• pinch cumin

Toss everything together and let the salad come together for several hours. Taste and adjust seasoning.

You can add your favorite veggies to this salad along with cooked chickpeas for a more substantial salad.
