INGREDIENTS
4 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup halved Grape Tomatoes
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper, diced
4 Kalamata Olives
1 oz Feta Cheese
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the halved grape tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, and Kalamata olives.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced grilled chicken to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or chill for a bit for a refreshing cold salad experience.
