Ingredients
Salad:
- 10 ounces rotini pasta
- 2-3 cups cooked chicken cut into bite-sized pieces or shredded
- 1 large sweet-tart apple cored, diced (I prefer Honey Crisp for this salad)
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese diced small (about 1 cup)
- 1 (15-ounce) (15-ounce) can pineapple tidbits drained very well
- ½ cup red grapes halved
- ⅔ cup sliced almonds
Honey Lime Dressing:
- ½ cup light or regular mayonnaise
- ½ cup PLAIN yogurt
- ¼ cup light or regular sour cream
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ½ tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the pasta until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, toss all the salad ingredients together.
- In another small or medium bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir gently to mix so that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour (the salad may dry out a bit if refrigerated for much longer - you can make extra dressing or reserve part of the dressing to stir in right before serving).
Notes
- Pasta: you really can use anywhere from 8 to 12 ounces of pasta (obviously the lesser amount will yield a creamier salad); I've found that 10 ounces hits it right on the money for us.
