Directions

To make the dressing. Combine all ingredients in a glass jar and whisk/shake until smooth. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. Set aside.
Bring large pot of water to a boil. Boil the pasta to al dente, according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 Tbsp Spicy Calabrian Olive Oil in large bowl and set aside.
Place a handful of spring mix greens (can adjust more or less if serving 1 or 2 ppl) in a medium-large serving bowl. (Tip: add 1/2 tsp (no more) Spicy Calabrian Pesto Olive oil to greens and toss)
Grill marinated chicken on med/high for 6 min a side, move to grill top rack and baste with remaining peri sauce (or olive oil) for 2 min side or until cooked) - let cooked chicken rest, covered, 3-5 min before slicing. set aside
Wash vegetables and prep salad toppings.
Place your large bowl of pasta and your large serving bowl of greens next to each other. Now to assemble each!
Take your chopped red peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, Peperocini peppers, feta cheese, and divide them each equally between your spring mix bowl and your pasta bowl.
Add your "diced" red onions and "seeded" cucumbers to your pasta bowl only.
Arrange your avocado, "sliced" red onions,
"non seeded" cucumbers and pumpkin seeds on your spring mix greens only.
Top both bowls, each, with sliced chicken breast - equally divided, cilantro and dressing!
Enjoy a delicious and healthy spring mixed salad for dinner, and an even tastier and high protein cold pasta salad (or hot) for lunch or dinner the next day!

Recipe Note

(Tip: If you don’t have Peri Sauce or like spice, marinate chicken in Spicy Calabrian Pesto Olive oil or Tuscan Herb Olive Oil!
