Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, stirring occasionally for about 6-8 minutes until fully cooked. Add Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to infuse flavor. Transfer the beef to a plate to cool.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add chickpea pasta and cook according to package instructions, about 7-9 minutes for al dente texture. Drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and set aside to cool.
- Wash and prepare the fresh vegetables. Dice grape tomatoes, chop romaine lettuce, finely slice red onion, and chop dill pickles.
- Shred or crumble the sharp cheddar cheese into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayo, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cooled chickpea pasta, ground beef, diced tomatoes, romaine, red onion, shredded cheese, and pickles. Gently toss to combine.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and fold gently to ensure even coating.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
