Gluten Free Caesar Pasta Salad Meal Prep is a flavorful and easy combination of high protein pasta and your favorite summertime salad, Caesar Salad. Make this dish for your weekly meal prep, a fast weeknight dinner or your next BBQ.
With summer finally here we are more interested in being outside than being stuck in the kitchen meal prepping all day. But, we also know that if we don’t meal prep, we won’t look as good in our bathing suits because those fat, high-calorie meals will be what we reach for when it comes time to eat. We know you don’t have time for that! We have worked way too hard this past winter — working out and eating healthy so that we can rock those summer bods!
So, what is the solution? This Gluten Free Caesar Pasta Salad Meal Prep recipe! Why? Because it is made in 15 minutes, is packed full of protein (27g per 3ounce serving) and fiber from the Chickapea Pasta and is made in a single pot! Plus, Chickapea pasta contains only 2 ingredients; chickpeas and lentils, so you know that you aren’t getting a whole bunch of artificial ingredients or sugars. That is something that we always feel good about! Plus, this pasta is vegan, gluten-free, organic, kosher and non-gmo. So, unless you are paleo or whole30, Chickapea pasta is a great addition to your diet!
While your pasta is cooking, all you need to do it cut the veggies. When the pasta is done just toss it all together, divide between your meal prep containers and then head straight to the beach — maybe with one of these salads in hand!

I love this idea, Sarah! Caesar salad is one of my fave salads, but unless you add meat to it, it just isn’t substantial. BUT THIS. This is a game changer.
Agreed! The Chickapea pasta provides quite a bit of protein! But, we also add in some grilled chicken and shrimp on occasion too!
Absolutely the perfect side dish!
