Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad
The perfect summer meal, whether a quick lunch, potluck, or easy dinner. Grilled chicken and balsamic dressing over pasta salad!
Ingredients
- 1 lb short cut pasta cooked, drained and cooled
- 1 ½ lb grilled chicken cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese diced
- 1 cup sweet pepper diced
- 1 cup cucumber peeled and diced
- 1 cup Kalamata olives halved
- ½ red onion minced
- ¼ cup fresh chopped dill
- 1 ½ - 2 cups Thick Balsamic Dressing depending on how much you like!
Instructions
- Use leftovers or make the chicken and pasta ahead of time to be cooled and ready.
- Chop everything up to be uniform in size, so it's easy to fork up some bites.
- Add dressing and stir to combine. If serving later, leave some dressing out to add at time of serving.
Notes
- Whole wheat rotini is our favourite, but you can use elbow macaroni or the bits and pieces of boxes from the pantry.
- Feel free to use any type of cheese or veggies here.
