Pasta Salad with Curry Chicken, Fruit, and Yogurt

Yogurt makes for a less fattening salad dressing while fruit adds a touch of sweetness. Great for a cool summer lunch, or leave out the chicken for a vegetarian side dish.

INGRIDIENT

6 ounces rotini pasta

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ cup chopped scallion greens

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

salt and ground black pepper to taste

½ Red Delicious apple, diced

½ cup white seedless grapes, halved

⅓ cup raisins

¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)

¼ cup slivered almonds

1 ½ cups fat-free vanilla yogurt

2 teaspoons curry powder

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl.

Step: 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add scallion greens and garlic; saute for 1 minutes. Add chicken, salt, and pepper; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Add chicken to the bowl with the pasta. Mix in apple, grapes raisins, sweetened dried cranberries, and almonds.

Step: 3

Combine yogurt and curry powder in a small bowl; pour over pasta mixture and toss to combine.
