How to Make Squiggly Pasta And Chicken Salad Dessert

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta. Set aside.
While the pasta cooks, grill or pan-fry the chicken breasts until fully cooked and slightly browned. Let cool completely, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Add the diced chicken, cooked pasta, grapes, strawberries, celery, red onion, and pecans to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently toss all ingredients until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step improves the overall taste of the salad.
Garnish with fresh parsley or mint before serving. Enjoy!
