Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, add a generous pinch of salt, and cook pasta just to al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken lightly with garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Grill or cook in a lightly-oiled skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, stir together the pesto and red wine vinegar.
- Add drained pasta, cut chicken, halved tomatoes, mozzarella balls, baby spinach, and Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
- Toss well to combine, sample, and add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away or refrigerate.
Notes
Store in a tightly-sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If the salad is dry after storing, add a splash of water or extra pesto.
