If you are looking for something a little different might I suggest you give this a try? This pasta salad has a lot going on. I made it for an early spring dinner. I really enjoyed the flavor on the chicken as I used a bottle of Iron chef orange ginger sauce.
INGREDIENTS
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle Iron Chef orange ginger sauce
1 box bow tie pasta
1/2 cucumber
1/2 diced red pepper
1 carrot, shredded
1 small can mandarin oranges
Toasted almonds (optional)
Italian dressing
DIRECTIONS
Marinate the chicken in the orange sauce, overnight if possible. Grill chicken until cooked through. Chop into bite sized pieces.
Cook pasta until done, drain and put in a large bowl. Add all of the veggies and chicken. Add oranges and almonds. Add desired amount of Italian dressing (a light citrus dressing would also be great) and mix carefully trying not to break up the orange sections.
Enjoy,
