I may have found the perfect summer-time entertaining dish, Greek Pasta Salad with Grilled Chicken. We had a few friends over last night for dinner and this dish fed everyone, seconds included, WITH leftovers for lunch today. It was super fast to put together, and it only requires one big bowl. I think we have a winner!
- 1/2 red onion, sliced.
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, I used both red and yellow
- 1 large cucumber, chopped
- 1/2 jar of kalamata olives, cut in half (roughly 6 oz)
- 3/4 lb of cooked pasta. I used orecchiette in mine, but any small pasta would work great.
- 6 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 pepper, grilled and chopped
- 2-3 small grilled chicken breasts, cut into bit size pieces
At this point, toss everything together and top with more dressing, a little salt and pepper, and some fresh chopped herbs in you have them. I used fresh basil and parsley. A nice touch, but certainly not crucial.
