CHICKEN ASPARAGUS PASTA SALAD

Chicken Asparagus Pasta Salad image

This recipe is adapted from the "Simply Down Home Cookbook' that I received from Studentchef in the Spring 2009 Cookbook Swap. It uses some of my favorite ingredients and I can not wait until late Spring when fresh, local asparagus is in season! A neighboring town, Hadley, Massachusetts is famous for its asparagus and I eat more than my fill every year!

You can have this light, tasty dinner on the table in less than 10 minutes-just buy a deli chicken on your way home from work, or use leftovers from Sunday's roast. The only cooking you'd have to do is the asparagus, which takes only 2 or 3 minutes! This is great for a hot summer's night, when you don't want to heat up your whole kitchen making a great dinner!

PASTA SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN

Pasta Salad With Asparagus and Chicken image

I threw this salad together based on what my family likes. It is a fantastic salad! You can use leftover chicken or the precooked breasts made for salad. This makes a great dinner with a loaf of crusty french bread. Leave out the chicken and you have a great side dish! Cook time is chilling time.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package tri-color spiral pasta, cooked and drained
1 (10 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 bunch asparagus, steamed (or roasted)
20 grape tomatoes
parmesan cheese, fresh grated
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped
1 cup newman's own light balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, and some extra to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Mix everything together in a large bowl. Chill thoroughly. At this point you can add more of the vinaigrette if you'd like. I like to take mine out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving, as I don't like it ice cold.
