Chicken-Spinach Pasta Salad Recipe


Hot summer nights call for cool salads such as this. I created the recipe by accident one day when tossing together whatever ingredients I had on hand.

This recipe is:

Quick





    Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
    Yield: 6-8 Servings


Ingredients


    1-3/4 cups uncooked small pasta shells
    4 cups baby spinach
    2-1/2 cups julienned cooked chicken
    1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
    1/4 cup pine nuts
    DRESSING:
    1 tablespoon water
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon minced chives
    1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1/4 teaspoon dried basil
    Dash each garlic powder and cayenne pepper


Directions

    Cook pasta according to package directions; rinse in cold water and drain well. In a large bowl, gently toss the pasta, spinach, chicken, blue cheese and pine nuts. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 6-8 servings.
