let’s swap recipes

Recipe Box Swap happening today!  It’s all about PASTA.  I’ve posted this one before, it’s a light pasta dish perfect for spring & summer meals.

Spinach Chicken Salad

5 cups cubed, cook chicken (about 3 breast pieces)

2 c. grapes, halved (red makes it pretty)

1 c. snow peas

2 c. torn spinach

2-1/2 sliced celery

7 oz. corkscrew pasta, cooked and drained

1/2 lg. cucumber, sliced

3 green onions, sliced

DSC_0006DSC_0012 DRESSING:

1/2 cup of your favorite oil (veg, olive, canola, etc)

1/4 c. sugar or use a sugar substitute

2 tsp. apple cider vinegar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. lemon juice

2 TBsp. fresh parsley

Mix everything for the salad. Add the dressing to the salad a few minutes before eating it so the sugar has time to dissolve. Enjoy!
