My 146th recipe with the Wednesday with Donna Hay group is Chicken Spaghetti Salad, was chosen for the theme, Plate of Pasta, and is found in Donna Hay's book Modern Classics 1 on page 57.
The ingredient list: spaghetti, olive oil, chicken breasts, spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, eggs, Dijon, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and basil.
This week I had some leftover spaghetti pasta, the remains of half a rotisserie chicken, spinach in the frig for salads, and basil growing in my herb pots so I knew this was the perfect time to make this "salad" pasta. When you have leftover ingredients standing at the ready, this all goes together in a snap. The dressing is basically a homemade mayonnaise, so if you would prefer to use something from the store in a jar, it would be even faster. I figured since I was using the leftovers for the main part that I would make the dressing from scratch so it would have that nice fresh flavor...a great decision as it turns out. While it looks like a huge plate of pasta in the photo, it's actually a small salad plate and the perfect size for my lunch. This is definitely a repeat, light, refreshing, and delicious.
