Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes
Al dente pasta tossed with grilled chicken, fresh spinach, and juicy cherry tomatoes in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette, finished with buttery toasted pine nuts.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne
1.2 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Pine Nuts
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slice into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of dried oregano to create the vinaigrette.
Combine the cooled pasta, grilled chicken, fresh baby spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are well-coated.
Garnish with toasted pine nuts before serving for a satisfying crunch.
