PASTA AND CHICKEN MEDLEY

PASTA AND CHICKEN MEDLEY
125 – 150 g dried fusilli
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoon pesto
1 tablespoon sour cream or fromage frais ( soos ‘n roomkaas, ek het mascarpone gebruik )
175 g cooked skinless boneless chicken, cut into strips ( ek het smoked chicken gebruik )
1 – 2 celery , sliced diagonally
125 g black grapes , halved
1 large carrot , cut into strips
Salt and pepper
Dressing
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 tablespoon Virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil . Add the pasta, bring to a boil and cook for 8 – 10 minutes, until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain, rinse and drain again. Transfer to a bowl and mix in dressing while still hot; set aside until cold.
Combine mayonnaise, pesto and sour cream in a bowl, and season to taste.
Add the chicken, celery, grapes, carrot and the mayonnaise mixture to the pasta, and toss thoroughly. Check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
