Recipe video above. A big, juicy pasta salad! You'll absolutely adore the dressing - it's made using the flavoured oil from the jar of sun dried tomatoes. I use rotisserie chicken here for convenience. Terrific served warm or at room temp.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comDrain oil from the jar of sun dried tomatoes.
Measure out 1/3 cup of the oil, top with extra virgin olive oil if short. Reserve excess oil for another purpose.
Add remaining Dressing ingredients. Mix well.
Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water per packet directions.
Drain, then rinse briefly under cold water. Leave to cool.
Transfer into large bowl. Add spinach, chicken, tomato, onion, pour over Dressing.
Toss well, sprinkle with dried herbs, toss again.
Just before serving, sprinkle with crumbled feta. Best served at room temperature.
SCOOP OUT a mug of pasta cooking water just before draining. Add 3 tbsp water to Dressing, shake well. Use this Dressing per above, but reserve 3 tbsp to freshen up pasta salad on Day 2 onwards.
Freshen up pasta salad: Bring to room temp or briefly microwave (cold pasta = dry) to warm gently. Toss with Reserved Dressing then serve.
