Method

Chicken, walnut and fetta pasta salad
  • 1
    Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, drain.
  • 2
    Combine pasta with remaining ingredients in a large bowl, toss gently.

Notes

Use barbecued chicken breast with the skin removed, leftover roast chicken, or pan-fried or poached chicken breasts. If making ahead of time, don't dress the salad until ready to serve. We used a fat-free french vinaigrette, but dress the salad with your favourite fat-free dressing.
