BRUSCHETTA PASTA SALAD WITH CHICKEN



Bruschetta Pasta Salad with Chicken image

Inspired by the flavors of bruschetta, this pasta salad boasts fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil in a balsamic vinaigrette. I love the addition of roasted chicken (rotisserie chicken is a great store-bought shortcut!) because it turns this simple side dish into the main event. It's truly a meal-in-a-bowl, and best of all, that meal can be served warm, room temp or chilled.

1 cup mini mozzarella balls, halved
2 cups diced cooked chicken (See Cook's Note)
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, quartered

1/3 cup shredded Parmesan
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Drain the pasta, transfer to a large bowl, and let cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, mozzarella, chicken, basil, artichokes, olives, and Parmesan. (If you're looking to make this recipe in advance, leave out the fresh basil and stir it in right before serving.) Toss to combine.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, garlic and honey. While whisking, stream in the olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Taste and season the dressing with salt and pepper.
