Ingredients
Pasta salad
1 cup chickpea pasta, I used Simply Nature
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and cubed
1 large honeycrisp apple, cubed
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 medium red onion
1/2 long English seedless cucumber
1-2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup green onions
Dressing
2 tbsp champange vinegar
2 tbsp sunflower oil, or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/2-1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Step 1
Roughly chop your vegetables and chicken into 1 inch cubes. Finely chop the green onions. Add to a medium sized bowl. Make sure to toss in lemon juice right away to avoid the apples browning!
Optional: If you find the taste of raw red onions too harsh, try soaking in a bowl of cold or room temperature water for about 10 minutes. Dry off with a paper towel, then add to your bowl.
Step 2
Add your champagne vinegar, oil of choice, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is completely coated.
Step 3
Top with crumbled feta and eat right away or portion out your serving for tomorrow's lunch! I make sure to make a little container of extra dressing on the side just in case I need it.
