For the Salad

3 cups whole grain pasta, cooked and cooled (about 1.5 cups uncooked pasta)

12 ounces chicken breast, cooked and sliced

4 cups leafy greens (spinach, romaine, kale, etc.)

1/2 cup red onion, chopped

1 medium bell pepper, chopped

Tips

  • Add other fresh or frozen fruit instead of blueberries based on what's on sale or in season.
  • Substitute chickpeas or white beans (no salt added, drained and rinsed) for chicken to make this dish vegetarian.
  • Instead of dark leafy greens, try using broccoli in this salad.
