Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Hummus Pasta Salad.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, add in your bow-tie pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
You want it to be perfectly al dente, which usually takes about 12 minutes.
Step 4
After the pasta is cooked to perfection, drain it and let it cool in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes—this will help the flavors meld beautifully later on.
Step 5
While the pasta is cooling, grab a medium bowl and toss in some diced cucumber, juicy tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and minced garlic.
Step 6
These fresh ingredients will add a burst of flavor and color to your dish.
Step 7
Once your pasta has cooled, gently fold it into the vegetable mixture.
Step 8
Now, here’s where the magic happens: add in your favorite hummus and toss everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 9
Feel free to adjust the amount of hummus based on how creamy you like your salad.
Step 10
To finish off this delightful dish, gently fold in some freshly chopped basil for that aromatic touch, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 11
If you’re feeling a little indulgent, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 12
Serve this vibrant salad as a refreshing side or a light main dish, and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and tastes!.
