{What We're Eating}

Greek Pasta Salad

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, boiled and diced (optional)
4 cups cooked whole-grain bowtie pasta OR 2 cups cooked whole grain couscous
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup halved kalamata olives
1 3.5 oz container crumbled feta cheese (I use the reduced fat sundried tomato and basil)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
4 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients while pasta or couscous is still warm. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with tzatziki sauce on the side. This is a great main or side dish for a summer picnic or pitch-in. It's flavorful, fresh and healthy!
