Instructions
- Add 8 ounces cooked pasta, 1 cup chopped cooked chicken, ½ cup drained and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, ½ cup drained and coarsely chopped jarred marinated artichoke hearts, 1 cup diced English cucumber, ⅓ cup coarsely chopped kalamata olives, 2 cups lightly packed fresh arugula, ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley, 1 cup pitted and chopped avocado, and ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese to a large bowl and toss until combined. Reserve the avocado and feta cheese on the side if you will not be serving the salad right away.
- Make the dressing by adding ¼ cup red wine vinegar, 1 ½ tablespoons dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1-2 teaspoons honey, ½ cup olive oil, and 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

- Before serving toss the salad with the dressing, reserving as much as you would like on the side. If you reserved the avocado and feta cheese on the side, add those when adding the dressing.
