Ingredients
 
 

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

Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons pesto rozas gourmet traditional
  • 3 tablespoons greek yoghurt or natural yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons water added slowly

Instructions
 

Method :

  • For the dressing, mix together the @rozas.gourmet traditional pesto and the natural/Greek yoghurt. Add a teaspoon at a time of water until you reach your desired consistency, it should be runny enough to drizzle over the salad but remains creamy.
  • In a large bowl, add the spinach, cooked pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, cooked chicken, spring onion, and almonds and season really well. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.
