Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, be sure to salt the pasta water well. While the pasta cooks season the chicken with the dried spices. Grill, pan fry, or bake the chicken until it reaches 165° F. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes before dicing it.
  2. Once the pasta is cooked rinse and drain it under cold water. Let it continue to drain while you prep all of the vegetables and remaining ingredients for the pasta salad.
  3. In a jar or glass measuring cup, combine all of the ingredients for the red wine vinaigrette. Shake or whisk until well combined. Taste for seasoning.
  4. Add the pasta, diced chicken, and all of the vegetables, olives, feta, and parsley to a large serving bowl. Pour on half of the vinaigrette to start with and toss until coated. Add additional vinaigrette as needed. Taste the pasta salad for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
