How to Make Pasta And Bean Salad With Cumin And Coriander Dressing

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and spinach to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until spinach wilts and mushrooms are tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and vinegar.
  5. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until a smooth dressing forms.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed vegetables, cannellini beans, and chives.
  7. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to coat.
  8. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and serve immediately or chill for later.
