Greek Chicken Protein Pasta Salad
When the weather gets warmer I always start to crave bright, fresh flavors. This Greek inspired pasta salad is so yummy and packed with protein. You will love having this meal on hand all spring and summer long.
I use Barilla protein pasta to get an added boost of macro-friendly protein to this delicious dish. You can use your pasta of choice – chickpea pasta would also be a great option. Store-bought grilled chicken helps keep this pasta salad super quick to throw together. I love to get mine from Costco, but any grilled chicken (or rotisserie chicken) would be perfect.
Tomatoes, cucumber and bell peppers add so much fresh flavor and texture. Chives give that onion flavor without being too overpowering. The feta adds the perfect salty bite and the Greek dressing brings it all together. I used Primal Kitchen Greek dressing for a healthier, sugar free option. If you can’t find greek dressing, my homemade Italian dressing would be a great option as well.
