Pasta salad with chicken N Greens

Pooja's Cookery Posted on by

I do like to experiment with my salads in many ways by adding beans, by adding different vegetables, sprouted green beans , pomegranate seeds etc. They taste amazing in any form.
Doctor’s say, eat greens and beans for healthy life. And with hectic life schedule, people hardly get time to exercise. So why not turn to some healthy eating habits , which no doubt also tastes yummilicious.
My Chicken salad with pasta recipe is very simple and basic and can be altered as you like by adding or omitting the ingredients mentioned. Want more great pasta recipes? Check out the articles over on the St. Ambrose website for some inspiration.

If you are vegetarian, don’t add chicken, instead, add some Tofu.
Also more greens can be added . If you don’t like vinegar, substitute with lime juice.
When I make some healthy recipes, I want to make sure that they are completely healthy, so in my chicken and greens salad, instead of normal pasta, I used Whole Wheat Pasta .
