This oh-so-tasty cold chicken pasta will really hit the spot at lunch time.

Ingredients


  200 g low-fat natural yoghurt   
1 Tbsp curry powder   
300 g boiled egg pasta, (spirals or bows)   
  250 g lean chicken breast, chopped   
  1 medium green capsicum, deseeded, chopped   
  1/2 medium fresh cucumber, deseeded, finely chopped   
  4 individual shallots, ends trimmed, finely sliced   

Instructions

  • Combine yoghurt and curry powder in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Add the pasta, chicken, capsicum, cucumber and shallots. Toss again to combine.
  • Serve salad in bowls.

Notes

  • Add some chopped fresh coriander or parsley to the salad mix to give it a fresh kick, or try adding rocket or baby spinach leaves. This is a great dish for barbeques or to take on a picnic!
    Divide any leftover salad into airtight containers and store in fridge for up to 3 days.
