Time 3h21m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ tablespoons grated onion
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
2 ½ cups water
2 cubes chicken bouillon
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 (14 ounce) can plain artichoke hearts, quartered
1 pint cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, grated onion, seasoned salt, and basil together in a bowl to make dressing. Transfer to the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta salad to add color, texture, and flavor. Some good options include celery, carrots, red onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes.
  • Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions. This will help it hold its shape and not become mushy in the salad.
  • Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. You can use cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken, or you can cook your own chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Toss the salad gently to combine all of the ingredients. Over-mixing can break up the pasta and vegetables.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. Pasta salad is a great make-ahead dish, and it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chicken coleslaw pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and a tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
