Healthy Chicken Pasta Salad with Avocado, Tomato, and Basil
I’ve eaten a lot of bad pasta salads. You know the kind. Swimming in a bland, heavy dressing with mushy noodles. It’s the dish that gets ignored at every picnic.
This is not that salad. This is the one people will ask you for the recipe.
It’s fresh, light, and packed with good stuff like creamy avocado and juicy chicken. It’s the perfect lunch or a simple dinner. Let’s make something you’ll actually want to eat.
Why This Recipe is a Winner
This isn’t just another boring salad. The dressing is a simple lemon vinaigrette that keeps things bright, not heavy.
Every bite has a mix of textures. Creamy avocado, chewy pasta, and fresh tomatoes.
Plus, it’s good for you. You get protein from the chicken and healthy fats from the avocado. It fills you up without weighing you down.
