A refreshing and satisfying pasta salad with tender asparagus, succulent roast chicken, and a zesty lemon dressing. Perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Steps

Boil water for pasta. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Two minutes before pasta is done, add trimmed asparagus to the boiling water. Drain pasta and asparagus, then rinse with cold water to stop cooking and cool them down.

While pasta cooks, shred or dice the cooked chicken breast. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely slice the red onion. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper.

Add the cooled pasta and asparagus, shredded chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.

Toss everything gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later.
