In May I posted a recipe called Grilled Chicken Salad with Herbed Tomato Vinaigrette which was absolutely fabulous. However, I’m not one to drown my salads, I just like to add a bit of flavor with my dressings, so I have plenty of leftover vinaigrette. So, I used it to make this wonderful pasta salad.
Since we were going up to our camper that weekend, I decided to take a box of pasta, the vinaigrette and some chopped ingredients with me. Once we got there I cooked the pasta and mixed it all together. Delicious!
Tomato Herb Pasta Salad
(measurements are not included because I just use a handful of this and that)
chopped green onion
diced radishes
chopped broccoli florets
diced cheese (some sort of soft white)
vinaigrette (recipe here)
1/2 – 3/4 lm cooked and drained mini Farfelle pasta
fresh ground pepper and salt to taste
Combine everything in a large bowl and mix well. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving, stirring twice while chilling to distribute flavors.

I can't wait to try this–I enjoy finding new pasta salad ideas!!!
What a great looking salad! That dressing looks fabulous!
pasta salads like these make me think of summer… oh wait, it is summer. let me go make one now.
This sounds great! David has a potluck at work next week, and he signed up for pasta salad…this might be what he takes!
This is perfect for a summer meal! Love the little bow tie pasta. Nice job of using leftovers, too!
I'm sooo making this for a summer get together! Looks delicious!
great recipe and very healthy, I love packing pasta salads when traveling lol
This is my favorite pasta shape to use, this sounds like a great dinner to have on a very warm night after working all day.
I love the color of that vinegrette! The salad soiunds fantastic Amanda!
Amanada that looks really great! Wonderful pasta salad!
I totally agree! I don't like dressing that overpowers everything else, especially mayo based salads. I only like a little mayo. This looks great!
I'm the opposite. I like to drown mine in dressing.
Your pasta salad looks terrific! My children and I love 'em.

Horray! A new idea for pasta salad! And I love that you take real food camping…we love to camp, and I insist on having food that's not just junk (although to appease my children we do have some junk :) ) Thanks!
Seems like everyone has a pasta salad out, but this one sounds good to me! (I'm not usually a big pasta salad person) Might have to change up my lunch routine a bit!
This sounds like a good midnight snack recipe. Thanks
You will love this if you try it Mary :)
This looks very good, but when I click on the vinaigrette link it doesn’t go there nor was I ever able to find it:<
Hmm I just tried both links in the post and they both worked for me. Can you try this one and let me know if it works or not? http://amandascookin.com/2009/05/grilled-chicken-salad-with-herbed.html
