olive oil

Chickpeas provide protein with a different flavor profile.

Cook the pasta tornillo in 3 liters of water with 2 teaspoons of salt until al dente.

Drain the pasta and drizzle with a splash of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, broken walnuts, diced ham, drained pineapple, green grapes, and dried blueberries.

In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, sour cream, sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon of salt to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the pasta and mix well to combine all ingredients.
