This is a great dinner to make in the summertime because it is cool and amazingly simple to make.
One night I grilled chicken and veggies for dinner (which I served with a side of Mediterranean Quinoa Salad) and then another night that week I used the leftover chicken and veggies to create this yummy pasta salad!
Ingredients:
1 cup diced grilled chicken
2 cups diced grilled vegetables (before grilling, I marinated mine in olive oil, dried Italian herb blend, balsamic vin., salt, and pepper)
3/4 cup diced cheese- I used Monterrey Jack since I'm pregnant but my favorite for this is Feta
1/2 box of bowtie pasta
balsamic vinaigrette- it's best if you make your own (like the kind I made for my Mediterranean Quinoa Salad) but you can also used bottled
Other great additions:
roasted pine nuts
chick peas
fresh tomatos
kalamata olives
fresh herbs
Cook and drain the pasta and mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Add as much dressing as you like.
You can serve it immediately or let it chill in the fridge first. It makes great leftovers too!
Enjoy!
