Hi all!  Thank you so much for reading and commenting on Jennas weight-loss success story.  I knew she would inspire you and Im so happy she agreed to let me feature her here.  Id love to feature YOU too, just email me at: honeywerehealthyblog@gmail.com and well chat!

I made a Greek pasta salad with grilled chicken the other night for dinner and thought you might like to try this recipe with your family.  Its classic Greek ingredients - tomato, cucumber, olives, red onion and feta cheese with whole wheat pasta, grilled chicken, and a homemade vinaigrette dressing.

I actually prefer this salad cold, but you can eat it warm also. I used penne pasta, but sometimes I use spirals.  For busy weeknights, I like meals like this that I can just throw together.  Of course, its nice to have left-overs for lunch later in the week too.

Ingredients (Salad)
Serves about 6

Tomato- 3 small diced
Cucumber- 1 large diced
Olives- 1/4 cup sliced
Red onion- 1/2 cup
Feta cheese- 3/4 cup crumbled
Whole wheat pasta- about 2 cups cooked
Grilled chicken- about 4 large boneless, skinless breasts
(fresh basil would be good in this salad but I didnt have any on hand)

Ingredients (Vinaigrette)

Whole Grain Mustard- 3-4 teaspoons
White wine vinegar- 1/8 cup
Dried basil- 1 teaspoon
Salt- dash
Pepper- dash
Olive oil-1/4 cup

• Combine all the ingredients together except the olive oil and stir.  Then whisk in the olive oil.  
• You can adjust the ingredients depending on your taste preferences.

Directions

• Boil the pasta according to package directions.
• Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and cook the chicken until done.  Then cut into cubes.
• Add the diced tomato, cucumber, olives, onion, and cheese with the pasta and chicken.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss it all together.
