Pasta salad is a staple for us in
the summer but it can be bland and repetitive. The best part of pasta salad is
you always have a meal ready in the fridge. After a day of gardening, swimming
or a day of golf, it is such a relief to walk in the kitchen and make a plate
of pasta salad for dinner.
This salad is not only tasty but
full of fresh flavor.
Start with one package of bow tie
pasta, cooked to al dente. Add two cooked and diced boneless
chicken breast. Add one half pound of cooked and
peeled shrimp.
Now, here comes the fun and
frugal part, empty out your fridge vegetable drawer. I added one pint of cherry
tomatoes, a diced English cucumber and ½ cup of shredded carrots. To pull the salad together, toss
in enough Italian dressing just to coat the salad, mixing it carefully. Season
with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with crumbled feta cheese!
Delicious!!!
Plan ahead and have dinner in the refrig - you're my kind of lady Cynthia. Love your shrimp and chicken salad and yes, if you have some feta, it would be great in it too.

ReplyDeleteThe best part of pasta salad is you always have a meal ready in the fridge. I like to make it any time as well as best to prepare in breakfast or dinner time, very quickly.
