Ingredients

Chicken Berry Pasta Salad

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • olive oil as needed
  • ½ lemon
  • 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
  • cup sliced almonds
  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
