Tomato Basil Pasta Salad

 

 

22Oz. Penne Pasta (cooked and drained- do not overcook)

(i also use mini bow tie)

7-8 Roma tomatoes, or slice grape or cherry tomatoes.

2-3 cups shredded mozzarella or shredded Parmesan. Sometimes I do both.

a bunch of fresh basil. (the more the better!)

2-3 large chicken breasts cooked and cubed/shredded (i cook mine in the crock pot)

Dressing:

2/3 Olive oil

2/3 Balsamic Vinegar

1 1/2 salt

3/4 black pepper

1-2 tsp. crushed garlic

 

This is the perfect spring/summer lunch salad.

 It tastes so light and fresh.

Enjoy :)
