  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grilled Chicken: Brush chicken with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 10 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C). Let cool and chop into large pieces.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Cook farfalle pasta according to package instructions. Drain and cool.
  3. Make the Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, pepperoncini, olives, and feta cheese. Toss with dressing until evenly coated.
  5. Chill and Serve: Optionally, chill the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken can be used as a time-saving option.
  • Rinse the cooked pasta in cold water to cool it quickly before tossing with other ingredients.
