Healthy Chicken Macaroni Pasta Salad

재료

Pasta salad season is officially ON, and this one checks all the boxes!! It’s high in protein, full of veggies, super easy to prep ahead, and perfect for a no-fuss lunch or side dish all week long!

All you need is:

8 oz dry elbow macaroni pasta (higher protein option) I like to look for a higher protein option like chickpeas pasta or Catelli protein+

1 lb chicken breast cooked and cubed (I recommend using this recipe)

½ cup celery

½ cup red bell pepper

½ cup orange bell pepper

½ cup matchstick carrots

½ cup red onion

½ cup dill pickles

For the dressing:

¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

3 tablespoon mayonnaise optional

1 tablespoon classic dijon mustard

2 teaspoon white vinegar

2 tablespoon fresh dill

2 teaspoon honey

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon mustard powder optional for colour and a bit more flavour
