Since we are adding chickpeas to this salad, it is a protein-rich salad. It is a perfectly balanced meal for people who are on diet. You can use whole wheat pasta to make it healthier. We are adding cucumber, chickpeas, cherry tomato, and olives to this pasta salad. You can add zucchini, blanched broccoli, blanched beans, and carrots too. I prefer to add more veggies and less pasta when I want to have a light meal. Also, you can pack this for the lunch box too. You can make it the previous night and pack it for the next day.
