Ingredients

Kosher salt

8 ounces tubetti or other small tube-shaped pasta

1 1/4 cups 2% percent Greek yogurt

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

1/3 cup chopped fresh dill

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1 rotisserie chicken

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 Kirby cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and chopped

Freshly ground pepper

8 cups mesclun greens

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. 
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup water, the vinegar, mustard, dill, chives and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat into large pieces. Add the chicken, celery and cucumber to the dressing and gently stir to combine. 
  3. Shake the excess water from the pasta and add it to the chicken salad. Season with pepper and toss. Serve over the greens.

This salad is very good and super easy. This did take me more time to make than the 25 minutes stated on the recipe in the magazine because I had to prep the chicken and pick through the box of mixed greens, but it still wasn't too bad time-wise, and it made a lot, which was great for lunch leftovers. I used ditalini instead of the tubetti with good results.
