Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup sweet corn canned or frozen
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  • Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For added crunch, mix in 1/2 cup of chopped celery or cucumber.
  • To make it a lighter dish, substitute half of the mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
