How to Make Moroccan Pasta Salad With Chicken

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. If using, add frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  2. While pasta cooks, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) in a small bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta (drained), 1 cup cooked and diced chicken, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Pour the spiced olive oil and mayonnaise mixture over the pasta and chicken mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro and feta cheese, if desired.
