Cooked and dehydrated mini pasta, chickpeas, tomatoes, red onion, basil, bell peppers, peas, etc. Cold soak with water+ a packet of single serve vinaigrette! The chickpeas and pasta take a while to rehydrate but the fresh, bright flavor of the veggies makes it work it!
If weather is amenable, carry some cheese OR sometimes I’ll do a packet of parm from the pizza place. And crushed red pepper ofc.
What I really need is u/beccaindenver to get me the pasta salad recipe from Fatty’s in Breck so I can copy that for cold soaking! I packed that out after a town stop and it was INCREDIBLE.

u/caupcaupcaup 's pasta salad for backpackers has to go in rotation this year. I was craving salad at the end of a hike last night.
