How to Prepare Gluten-Free Quinoa Pasta Salad [Vegan]

Boil pasta in salted water according to al dente package instructions, about 6 minutess. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, prepare dressing by combining minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl, whisking until combined. Alternatively, you can add all ingredients to a Mason jar, put the lid on tightly, and shake, shake, shake.
In a large bowl add diced onion, tomato, cilantro, and pasta. Pour dressing over the pasta mixture and stir to evenly coat the pasta salad.
Season pasta salad to taste, add approximately 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stir.
Store the pasta salad in an airtight container in the fridge. Pasta salad is much better made ahead of time to allow the pasta time to marinate in the dressing. Feel free to allow the pasta salad to sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
