Easy Pasta Salad
My friend Lisa’s sister, Christine, makes a summer pasta salad that is the first to go at get togethers. It’s easy to throw together, easy to make ahead and different from your average run-of-the-mill pasta salad because it starts with cheese tortellini and ends with an Asian sesame dressing. This sesame chicken tortellini salad is an adaptation of Christine’s famous salad and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
This was so easy to make! A great way to use leftover roasted chicken. I added a few other veggies I had on hand. Sorry, Meredith, but I forgot to take a photo.
It’s so hot this Labor day weekend I wanted a cool and refreshing dinner. This was great. I adjusted to fit my family’s tastes. 1) I cut my chicken into bite sized pieces and marinated in some teriyaki sauce for about a 1/2 hr , then sauteed. 2) I added a small can of Mandarin oranges, some chopped green onion and topped with some fried wontons strips for added crunch and texture. Was very tastey, might add a little sweet chili sauce to the dressing or some pepper flakes just to kick it up a bit. Overall, can’t wait to make again. Thank you for sharing.
