Healthy Mediterranean Gnocchi Vegan Salad

Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and fresh basil.

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mix, and stir until everything is well coated.

Add the cooled gnocchi to the bowl, and gently stir it in until it's coated with the dressing and mixed evenly with the vegetables.

Let the salad sit for a few minutes so the flavors can meld together. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a chilled option.
