CHICKEN AND SPINACH PASTA SALAD



Chicken and Spinach Pasta Salad image

My family loves pasta salads, but usually they have too much mayonnaise or oily dressing. Using hummus gives this dish a great taste and texture, while also increasing its nutritional profile. Adding chicken (store-bought rotisserie chicken works well), makes this pasta salad a complete meal. -Jenny Lynch, Rock Island, Illinois

SPINACH-CHICKEN PASTA SALAD

This is a variation of a Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad sent to me by a friend (which, having looked at the recipe by the same name here, I'm pretty certain she got from AllRecipes.com). I changed the recipe quite a bit to fit my own tastes, and everyone in my office LOVES it! It's light and hearty at the same time--perfect for a potluck or as a one-dish meal.
