- 4 oz. mini bow tie pasta
- 1/2 cup yellow corn (70g)
- 4 oz. grape tomatoes halved
- 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup cucumber (90g) finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion (30g) finely diced
- 12 oz. grilled chicken chopped
- 4 tsp honey when ready to serve*
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (120g) or mayo

- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (30g)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (15g)
- 1 Tbsp dill weed dried or fresh
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, about 10 minutes. When done, reserve 1/4 cup pasta water for the dressing and drain.
- Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and toss with the dressing to evenly coat. Add more salt or pepper as needed.
- If time allows, chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours so the flavors can meld together. Otherwise, serve right away. Drizzle honey over top when ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
*You can also just go ahead and mix the honey in with the rest of the dressing ingredients if you prefer.
