Chicken Pesto Salad
One of the easy ones from Karen’s cards, and a good warm-weather dish. Bowtie pasta, chicken, pesto, pine nuts, and craisins, all tossed together. It can be served cold or warm, and it is the kind of thing you make ahead and keep in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 (4 oz) jar pesto
- 1 box bowtie noodles, cooked
- 4 chicken breasts, cut into pieces
- Craisins, to taste
- 2 oz pine nuts
- 1/2 red mild onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Mix everything together.
- If it seems dry, add 1 tablespoon more olive oil.
- Refrigerate. It can be served cold or heated.
