Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Boil pasta in salted water until tender with a slight bite. Drain and rinse until cool.
- Whisk mayonnaise, buffalo sauce, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add pasta, chickpeas, celery, onion, carrots, and green onion to a large bowl.
- Pour dressing over the salad. Toss thoroughly until every piece looks evenly coated and creamy.
- Chill for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again and add more buffalo sauce if desired.
Notes
For softer texture, dress pasta while slightly warm. For firmer texture, chill pasta first. Freeze extra dressing only; vegetables lose crunch after thawing. Toss gently during assembly so chickpeas stay whole. Add pickles, dill, ranch seasoning, or extra hot sauce for flavor changes. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
