½ -¾ lb cooked bow tie pasta
2 cups cooked chicken cut into bite sized pieces (sauté the chicken)
10 oz. bacon, fried and crumbled
4 oz. grated cheese
Black olives
Lettuce and spinach leaves. About 4 big handfuls.
Dressing:
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
1 tsp honey or sugar
1 clove garlic
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Make the dressing and let it sit for at least ½ hour. Cook, drain and rinse the pasta so it will not be hot when you put in on top of the lettuce. Put the bacon, chicken, olives and cheese on top and toss with dressing. You will likely not need all the dressing so go lightly. This salad makes a light yet filling main dish! Serves 8-10.
