Green Goddess Pasta Salad

If I could be any pasta salad, I would choose to be this one because it's got everything going on! 

Recipe by Casey Colodny | @themindfulhapa

Ingredients

Crispy Shallots

½ cup Frizzle

1 large shallot, sliced thin

Green Goddess Dressing

1 ripe avocado

½ cup Good Culture Whole Milk Cottage Cheese

⅓ cup fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems

⅓ cup fresh parsley, leaves and tender stems

¼ cup fresh mint leaves

2 garlic cloves, smashed

1 lemon, juiced + zest

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp fresh cracked black pepper

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

⅓ cup water

2 tsp Drizzle

Pasta Salad Assembly 

12 oz Radiatori Pasta, 

¾lb cooked chicken breast

1 cup cherry tomatoes 

1 cup Persian cucumbers

¼ cup toasted pine nuts or toasted walnuts

½ cup Feta, crumbled + more for topping

2 tbsp fresh chives

Instructions

Active Time: 15 Minutes

Full Time: 45 Minutes

1

In a small sautee pan, heat up a ½ cup of Frizzle on medium low heat to approximately 200F. Be careful not to heat your oil up too much, shallots fry up much better in lower temperatures.

2

Once heated, add your sliced shallots into the oil and fry for 7-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove the shallots from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil.

3

For the dressing: In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients except the water until smooth. Slowly add in the water while the food processor is on and blend until desired consistency is reached. Add more water or lemon juice for a more drizzly texture. Set aside.

4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook your pasta to Al Dente according to the package directions. Once cooked, strain your pasta and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.

5

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked pasta, cubed chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta, chopped chives, and stir to combine. Serve immediately topped with fried shallots, extra chopped herbs, crumbled feta, toasted pine nuts, and Drizzle.
