INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Fusilli Pasta
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes

1 cup Baby Spinach
1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat fusilli pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cool water to stop further cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and baby spinach.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Toss the pasta and vegetables with the dressing until evenly coated.
Top the salad with the grilled chicken slices and gently mix.
Serve immediately or chill briefly for a cooler, refreshing salad perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
