Bruschetta Chicken Pasta Salad
I am doing a summer pasta salad series over on instagram and this was the second recipe I posted for the series. It's light, refreshing and delicious! With nice and ripe tomatoes, fresh basil and garlic, balsamic glaze...this is a summer meal worth trying. I simply grilled some chicken that was marinated in balsamic dressing to pull it together with protein. This did not last long for us so we know it's perfect for a weeknight dinner with leftovers, or as an addition to your bbq spread!
