This pasta salad has become quite popular among my relatives and it’s very much in demand. I personally enjoy this salad after a heavy workout.

It’s filling and yet nourishing. At the same time it’s extremely easy to make. All you have to do is simply blend the dressing and toss in the salad.

How to make Jalapeno Tahini Vegan Pasta Salad

  • Firstly, I used vegan almond based yogurt as the main ingredient. I used yogurt to give it a mild tangy effect along with being extra creamy.
  • Secondly, I blended store bought tahini along with some herbs and seasonings and yogurt.
  • Next, in a salad bowl i tossed all the salad ingredients along with the blended dressing.
  • Lastly, I served it immediately and we enjoyed all enjoyed it.

A closer view of the dish

Jalapeno tahini dressing is extremely versatile that if any leftovers just store it in the refrigerator in a glass container. Later, you may use it as a dip or as a spread over sandwiches. 🙂

Expert tips:

  • The first important step to note is to make sure you blanch broccoli florets very well so that there isn’t any raw taste.
  • Secondly, it is advisable that you slice / julienne the carrots fresh instead of buying julienned carrot pack. Why? The freshness of vegetables enhances the taste of this salad ten times more.
  • Lastly, don’t forget to add thinly sliced red bell pepper to add to the sweet crunch to this salad.
  • Also, when you use sweet corns for this salad do not buy the creamy style. Please make sure to buy regular canned sweet corn.

Once you get the right ingredients for this Jalapeno Tahini Vegan Pasta Salad you will immediately love it.

I guarantee that you are gonna make it innumerable times and devour it the same way like we do it in my home 🙂

    I have made variations of tahini dressing, but never with jalapeno. This is right up my alley because I love spicy foods!

    I love a good vegan recipe because I am running out of ideas for my family. This is great and I need to find that yogurt for this and for my son.

      Hi Melissa, any plain vegan yogurt would work for this recipe. I personally prefer almond based yogurt so I tend to use it in my recipes. Hope this helps.
