INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Shrimp
2.5 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, grilled shrimp, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber.
Add the chopped fresh basil and parsley to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season the dressing with a little salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator for a refreshing twist.
