This recipe came from good friends of our family, and we tried it last night--it is awesome and would be perfect for a summer meal or potluck!
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked penne pasta (we did about 10 oz)
2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil or 1 Tablespoon of minced basil from the refrigerated section of the grocery store
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup Lite Caesar dressing
1/4 cup chopped fresh Parsley
1 4 oz package crumbled feta cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
3-4 roasted skinless boneless chicken breasts cooked and sliced
Option ingredients: avocado, chopped bell pepper, cucumber
Directions:
Combine the first 9 ingredients in a bowl. Toss well to coat. Place 1 1/4 cup pasta mixture on each plate and top with chicken breast. (We chopped the chicken and mixed it in with the salad and then just used a bit of extra dressing). You could omit the chicken for a vegetarian pasta salad.
