11. Cold Pasta Salad with Soya Chunks and Herb Yogurt (Protein-Packed Veg Option)

Soya chunks are an inexpensive, protein-rich ingredient that plays well in pasta salads. Cook whole-wheat pasta and toss with rehydrated, marinated soya chunks, chopped bell peppers, olives, and cherry tomatoes. Fold in a yogurt-herb dressing spiced with roasted cumin and a pinch of garam masala for an Indian twist. The salad holds up in the fridge and tastes great cold. This choice gives a good protein-to-carb ratio while staying vegetarian. For a dairy-free version, use a tahini-lemon dressing instead of yogurt. If you want a little extra oil for satiety, add a spoonful of flax or olive oil. Pasta salads are easy to scale and work well for days when you need a hands-off lunch that’s still filling and flavorful.
