Six Bean Salad with Gluten Free Pasta

six bean salad with gluten free pasta salad in a bowl

Combine the two different salad recipes with this quick and easy vegetarian 6 Bean Salad with Gluten Free Pasta. It’s a great vegan side dish for easy lunches, potlucks and barbecues.

When, I made this recipe, the whole bowl was gone in a matter of minutes. Even my picky kids who do not care for salads had two servings each.

This recipe calls for gluten free shell pasta, canned 6 beans, cucumbers, tomato, onions, olives and corn combined in a light dressing.

Gluten Free Pasta

I used brown rice shell pasta. Gluten free pasta takes a little longer to cook than wheat pasta, but it can turn mushy if cooked too long like regular pasta would. So you have to keep an eye on it to avoid this.

Pasta salad recipes often call for overnight refrigeration, to allow the flavors time to blend. But with gluten free pasta this step can lead to mushy results. Toss the salad with the dressing right before serving.

Corn Free

I have added corn to this recipe as me and my kids love corn. It adds a sweetness to the salad. But if you cannot eat corn for any reason you can simply leave it out.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with any of the chicken, meat or vegetarian recipes on Limitless Allergies. If you decide to try this recipe, be sure to comment how you like it and if you made any changes to it!
