  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Be sure to drain it well and let it cool before the magic begins!
  2. Combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, black beans, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss everything together gently.

Notes

Feel free to prepare the salad a day in advance; the flavors will deepen overnight. Substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu for a vegetarian option.
