INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
3 oz roasted Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced Cucumber
1 serving (15g) Kalamata Olives
1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions, drain, and let it cool.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano, then roast until cooked through. Once cooled, dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, diced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and Kalamata olives.
Add the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled, refreshing meal.
