Cooking Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook, stirring regularly for about 7–10 minutes, until browned and crumbled.
- Pour in Worcestershire sauce and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Boil a pot of salted water, then add the chickpea pasta. Cook according to package instructions (about 7–10 minutes), then drain and rinse under cold water.
- Prepare the vegetables by halving the grape tomatoes, chopping the romaine lettuce, dicing the red onion, and slicing the dill pickles.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with the cooked beef, chopped tomatoes, romaine lettuce, red onion, cheddar cheese, and dill pickles. Gently toss to combine.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the pasta mixture and fold in gently until everything is well coated.
- Optionally, fold in the romaine lettuce just before serving to keep it crisp. Garnish with white sesame seeds.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld, if desired.
