How to Make Awesome Dill Chicken Pasta Salad
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
- While pasta cooks, cook chicken breast. You can grill, bake, or boil it until cooked through. Dice or shred the cooked chicken.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, 2 cups diced cooked chicken, 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 1 cup frozen peas (thawed).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
- Before serving, arrange lettuce leaves on a platter. Top with the chilled pasta salad. Garnish with sliced tomatoes and your favorite fresh fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries, or melon.
