Chicken Berry Pasta Salad
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- olive oil as needed
- ½ lemon
- 1½ cups dry bow-tie pasta
- 2 cups chopped romaine
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 avocado pitted and chopped
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Sprinkle seasoned salt over both sides of the chicken and then follow with a drizzle of olive oil. Grill over medium heat until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center. Transfer from the grill to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the chopped chicken and allow to cool a bit while preparing remaining ingredients.
Cook pasta according to the package directions. Immediately after cooking, rinse pasta with cold water and then drain well.
Combine dressing ingredients in a mason jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously until well combined. If making ahead, refrigerate until ready to serve.
Place all of the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and toss with the dressing.
