Cook protein pasta in heavily salted water. Slightly undercook it by about 30–60 seconds so it doesn’t get soft in the fridge.
Drain and let it cool completely. (This is key for meal prep.)
In a large bowl, combine: Cooled protein pasta, Garbanzo beans, Cherry tomatoes, Cucumber, Red onion, Parsley, Lemon zest, Olives, Artichokes, and Feta
Whisk dressing ingredients separately until emulsified.
Pour over the salad and toss well.
Let it sit at least 30 minutes before serving.
It honestly tastes even better the next day once everything soaks in.
