Balsamic Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe

  • 2 tbsp brown mustard
  • 2 tbsp Pompeian Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Pompeian Olive Oil
  • 2.25 oz sliced black olives
  • 6 oz diced artichoke hearts
  • 12 oz tri-color pasta (cooked and drained)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green olives
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 whole avocado (peeled and diced)
  • 1 medium size tomato (seeded and diced)
  • 10 oz cooked chicken (diced)

In the bottom of a large serving bowl, mix brown mustard and Pompeian Balsamic Vinegar.  Whisk in Pompeian Olive Oil until dressing is combined.  Add black olives, artichoke hearts, pasta, and green olives to dressing.  Mix lemon juice and diced avocado in a small bowl.  Then add to larger bowl with other ingredients.  Add tomato and chicken to large bowl as well.  Toss entire salad with dressing until coated.  Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Will you try my balsamic chicken pasta salad recipe as is? You can even vary it up with ingredients you love.  Me?  I will keep the artichokes and avocado because I love them both.  However you change it up be sure to start with the dressing made with Pompeian Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil.
