This makes me think of summer and home. Good as a light meal on its own, or accompanied by anything grilled. Sometimes we omit the chicken in the salad and have grilled chicken alongside. Delicious!
*Credit to my sister, Stephanie, at right, for getting us this recipe =)
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast, cooked and cubed
1 basket cherry tomatoes, halved
3 green onions, chopped
1/3 c toasted pine nuts
1 lb rotelle pasta, cooked until al dente and rinsed under cold water to stop cooking
Dressing:
3/4 c mayo
1/2 c water
1/2 c pesto (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Mix dressing ingredients together in a large bowl until creamy and well blended. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add all other ingredients and mix well until everything is coated evenly.
