Ladies Lunch Bow Tie Chicken Pasta Salad
Today I had a couple of friends over for my Ladies Lunch Bow Tie Pasta Spinach Salad with grilled chicken. It has all kinds of yummy goodness in it and everyone loves this recipe! It has a tangy sweet Chinese flavor that you just can’t get enough of. You basically can use ingredients you might already have in your fridge!
I grilled my chicken this morning…with snow still on the ground….but the sun was shinning and it was beautiful outside. I love to get a head start on my lunch by taking advantage of grilling early in the morning. Here is my video and recipe on how to grill chicken. It is super simple!
After the chicken is grilled and cooled. I sliced the chicken on an angle and then into thirds for nice even pieces. At this point I get a pot of boiling water going to cook the bow tie pasta. Once the water is boiling, I add in some salt and pour in the bow tie pasta. I cook it for about 10 min or until it is done.
Fresh baby spinach leaves have a little sweeter flavor so I really like to use that in my Bow tie spinach salad. I add in chopped cashews, mandarin orange slices, toasted sesame seeds and the cooled bow tie pasta…yummers!!
You can see how I created this Ladies Lunch Bow Tie Chicken Pasta Salad tablescape over on my blog. I used pretty cloth napkins with a chunky napkin ring and bright colored green salad plates onto of textured placemats. It was so fun to visit with friends and enjoy this delicious salad!
