Rotisserie Chicken Pasta Salad
The flavor and juiciness of rotisserie chicken makes this pasta salad a hit with me. You can serve this dish immediately or refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend more and serve cold. Either way it's yummy :-)
Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp crushed garlic
- Zest of 1 medium fresh lemon
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, julienned
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 1/2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 medium red onion, halved and sliced
- 5 oz mozzarella, cut into 1/2 cubes
-
Directions:
Cook penne al dente according to package instructions, drain and set aside to cool.
Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, basil, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Combine pasta, chicken, tomato, onion and mozzarella in a large serving bowl, toss well, evenly coat with vinaigrette, toss again and serve.
