Thanks to toddlers I have been experimenting with different pasta salads. It is an easy pick me up food for little bellies that need to eat right now and not a second later. It is also a great full meal option that includes carbs, protein and vegetables in one shot, well more like a mouth full. Plus they can be stored in the fridge at all times, waiting patiently until you eat them. No need to heat up just grab and go, Perfect.
You will need: 1/2 lb of noodles (farfale,macaroni etc), 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (small container pictured), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 cooked chicken breasts, 1 cup grape tomatoes, 1/2 lemon, 3 green onions, 1 can of sweet corn, 1/4 cup chopped dill, 1/4 tsp cumin (not pictured).
Cook the noodles according to directions on the box. In a bowl mix together yogurt and mayo.
Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lemon and cumin mix well
Add chopped dill
Drained corn and halved cherry tomatoes
Add cut up chicken and sliced green onions
Finally add the pasta and toss together
Serve right away or wait till you are ready
The pasta will keep in the fridge for about 3 days.
I love a good pasta salad as well, especially one with this many veggies! Grab and go…sounds good to me!
This pasta salad sounds just delicious! I have just added it to my special “Must try very soon Polwig recipe file”!
