Chicken Salad with Broccoli & Pasta

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water until cool. (I usually add a few ice cubes to the strainer as well, to speed up the cooling process.)

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, wash the broccoli and chop into small florets. Dice the onion, using a handheld chopper if you have one, into very fine pieces.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the mayo, sugar, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Step 4

Place the cooled pasta and shredded chicken into a large bowl and mix until combined. Add the cheddar cheese, broccoli, and onion to the same bowl, mixing well.

Step 5

Pour the mayo dressing over the salad mixture and stir until everything is well coated.

Step 6

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
