Ingredients for Penne hot salad with basil, asparagus, cherry tomatoes fresh mozzarella and chicken with a mustard vinaigrette:
1 Bag of cooked Penne Gluten free of course I used Trader Joe's Brown Rice Penne
1 cup of sliced in half cherry tomatoes
2 cups slightly cooked asparagus
1/2 cup basil sliced and or chopped
2 cups of fresh Mozzarella cubed
2 cups chicken from either left overs or a rotisarie chicken
Summer in a Bowl Dressing:
3 Tablespoon Brown Gulden's Mustard
1/4 cup Aged Balsamic Vinegar
2 Large cloves of garlic grated on planer to make paste
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
½ cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Cook Pasta according to directions I like to boil 7 minutes string constantly then let sit for 3 on murky water then rinse in hot water.
Cut asparagus and put in pan cover with water until it boils than immediately pour cold water over so it stops cooking. I like to put mine in a colander then run under water until cold to the touch.
In a measuring cup mix first 6 ingredients together than whisk in olive oil so it emulsifies
Slice tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and chicken and place in bowl
Next add cooled a asparagus
then pasta and toss with mustard vinaigrette.
Let vinaigrette sit and soak up pasta for about 5 to 10 minutes then serve.
Also don't forget tonight is Sunday and what does that mean it's time to gather around the #Sunday Supper table.
