Greek Pasta Salad


I heart pasta salad! I found this greek pasta salad from Robin Miller at Food Network. See my notes at the end after tasting the finished product.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces ditalini or other pasta
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked cubed chicken (about 1 pound)
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions.

In a small bowl, whisk together broth, oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Add diced chicken, green pepper, and mint.

Drain pasta and add to bowl with dressing and chicken. Toss to combine. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with feta cheese just before serving.

*We felt like it needed more flavor, so we added more of the spices and added some chopped turkey pepperoni and kalamata olives.
