    Hearty pasta salad to help use up leftover roast chicken or turkey. I've a bumper crop of grape tomatoes which work well in this too. I try to go light on the seasonings, so follks can adjust as desired when served.

    Ingredients

    • 12 ounces dry rotini pasta
    • 2 ½ cups cooked chicken breast meat, cut in large cubes
    • 12 ounces cherry tomatoes, cut in half
    • 2/3 cup sliced green onions
    • Several fresh basil leaves, torn
    • 3/4 cup light mayonnaise (can use part Greek yogurt)
    • 2 ½ tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon sage or poultry seasoning
    • ½ teaspoon dill weed
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
    • Lettuce leaves to line salad plates (optional)

    Directions

    1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
    2. In large mixing bowl lightly toss rotini, chicken, tomatoes, green onions and basil.
    3. In small bowl whisk mayonnaise with lemon juice, salt, sage, dill weed, pepper. Fold dressing into pasta mixture.
    4. Serve on individual lettuce-lined salad plates, or serving dish. Sprinkle top with feta cheese.
    5. Note: Optional garnish = 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled on top.
