Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor For Ease of Prepping: Chop veg., shred cheese, chop chicken, blend dressing. I use my KitchenAid 7-cup Food Processor

Ingredients

Pasta & Cheese

  • 1 (14 ounce) box pasta (rotini or rigatoni works well) I use the Barilla yellow box – protein/fiber + blend
  • 8 ounces cheddar, shredded

Veggies to Prep:

The below veggies I usually pulse in my food processor to chop them finely. I cut all the vegetables to about 1 1/2 inch pieces before processing. I layer the onion and the carrot on the bottom as I like them chopped more finely. I put the cucumbers on top as they are softer.

  • 1/4 small red onion about 1/4 cup
  • 1 small carrot
  • 2 cups broccoli florets* from 1 small head
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 2 mini cucumbers

Chicken: I chop these up in my food processor, you could alternatively chop them up by hand.

  • 2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts warm or chilled

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, plain (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup whole grain dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2/3 cup olive oil

Instructions 

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cool water. (I generally only rinse pasta when making pasta salads.)
  • Combine the cooked pasta, shredded cheddar, chopped veggies and minced/shredded chicken in a large bowl.
  • Blend or stir together the dressing ingredients.
  • I usually add about half the dressing to start. Then I add some more before serving. (It will absorb some when you make it ahead – can be made a day or 2 ahead.) Taste before serving and add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can make a couple days ahead! Great for meal prepping!

Notes

Blanch the Broccoli Option:

Sometimes I’ll blanch the broccoli before chopping to brighten up the green color and take away a little of that raw flavor.  I usually just put it right in my boiling pasta water (before I cook my pasta) for about 1 minute, then scoop it out with a slotted spoon to a bowl filled with ice water.  Let it chill in the ice water, pat it dry with a towel or give it a spin in a salad spinner to remove the water.  Then proceed with the chopping.
