Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (salt is key!) - cook your protein pasta until al dente, about 1 minute below suggested cook time.

2. Drain very well and let the pasta sit in colander for 5-10 mins so excess moisture evaporates. You want it to be dry so it’s crispy.

3. Toss the pasta with the oil.

4. Spread pasta in the air fryer basket in an even layer and cook at 400°F for 15-18 mins, shaking once halfway, until golden and crispy. Once done, let cook for 2-3 mins to get really becomes crispy.

5. In a large bowl, add your lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and herbs.

6. Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.

7. Add the crispy airfried pasta to the salad and spoon over the dressing just before serving.

8. Toss gently so the pasta keeps its crunch.
