Craving Salad

So, my meat and potato husband is hating this, but I'm in the mood for salad. So, we have been eating salad. The kids are actually really enjoying it. I made this salad the other night and it was so delicious I have to share the recipe! It is unusual and so yummy!

Chicken Pasta Salad

Dressing:
1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
2/3 cup EVOO
4+ Tblsp garlic cloves
2 Tbsp Honey
Sprinkle of Italian Seasonings
Pinch of Salt and Pepper


Mix all in a blender. Taste and adjust seasoning.


Salad:
1 lb cooked bowtie, penne, or wheel whole wheat pasta
1 handful cilantro or Italian parsley
3 cups Rotisserie chicken chopped
green onions chopped
1 package grape or cherry tomatoes halved
2 cups fresh spinach chopped
1 red bell pepper cut into strips

Mix ingredients together and drizzle with dressing. So delicious!

Filling and light. It is perfect for summer. And it's incredibly easy, it took me about 30 minutes to whip the whole thing together! YUMMY!!!!
