Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup baby spinach chopped
  • 1 cup pasta cooked, I used penne
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 lebanese cucumber cut into half moons
  • 1 cup cooked chicken
  • 3 spring onions finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds toasted
  • sea salt & cracked black pepper

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 3 tablespoons greek yoghurt or natural yoghurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons water added slowly

Instructions
 

  • For the dressing: Mix the pesto and yoghurt in a small bowl. Add the water gradually, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. It should be runny enough to drizzle over the salad but still creamy.
  • In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cooked pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, cooked chicken, spring onion and almonds. Season really well. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.
