This pasta salad is super easy to make. I put it together when I have leftover roasted chicken. Mixed together with some veggies, cheese, and a pesto salad dressing it makes for all in one lunch or dinner.

By:

Ingredients
  • 2 cups roasted chicken - I typically make this with my leftover chicken but you could easily buy a rotisserie chicken at the market and use that. Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes - cut into fourths
  • 1/2 red onion - diced
  • 12 ounces of marinated mozzarella balls
  • 1lb pasta - your favorite shape
  • Parmesan Reggiano - grated
  • Dressing
  • 1/4 cup favorite jarred pesto
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
  • Step 1 Boil pasta according to directions.
  • Step 2 While pasta is cooking make dressing. Combine pesto, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly.
  • Step 3 Once pasta is cooked rinse under cool water and drain.
  • Step 4 Combine pasta, chicken, tomatoes, onion, mozzarella balls and mix together.
  • Step 5 Pour dressing over pasta salad. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Step 6 Grate Parmesan Reggiano over it.
  • Step 7 Serve cold or room temperature.
