This is one of my Mom's show stopping salads.
4 large chicken breasts cubed
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber diced
1 small red onion diced
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 large package garden rotini pasta prepared according to package and chilled.
1 package sundried tomato feta cheese
1 tsp orange juice
1/2 tsp olive oil
Dressing:
3 Tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of one lime
white pepper and sea salt to taste
Coat skillet with 1/2 tsp. olive oil, add chicken and cilantro. Cook until chicken is cooked through. Add orange juice and cook until evaporated. Allow to cool for approx. 10 minutes. While cooling combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Toss remaining ingredients, chicken and pasta together in large bowl, add dressing and coat completely. Chill for 1 hour and serve with crusty bread and a good Cafe Zinfandel.
