Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad



 What you need:

2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 package bow tie pasta
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 zucchini finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup shredded mozzarella
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder

What to do:

Cook pasta, drain, and set aside
Blanch red pepper and green onion
Stir in zucchini and tomatoes 

Add chicken, almonds, and mozzarella

Mix olive oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce
Sprinkle and toss with garlic powder, chill, and enjoy




This salad looked better than it tasted.  I really liked all of the ingredients together in this salad, they were a good combination.  The disappointment came in how little flavor was in the dressing.
 If you like subtle flavoring in the dressing you'll like this because it was kind of bland in that department.  Next time I will probably add an asian bottled dressing with more flavor.
