This salad is loaded with goodness. Full of protein with chicken and almonds and has fresh grapes to create a sweetness that kids will love.
If you prefer a low-carb option, just replace or reduce the pasta and add fresh organic baby spinach or a spring mix.

Tie Your Shoes Chicken and Grape Bow Tie Pasta Salad
This salad is versatile and full of yummy ingredients every super hero will love.
- 10 oz Bow tie pasta (regular or gluten free) (Cooked and cooled)
- 2 Cups Cooked and cooled chicken (I use rotisserie or organic canned chicken)
- 1 1/2 Cups Organic red grapes
- 1 Cup Diced organic celery
- 1 Cup Sliced almonds (I use Fisher Sliced from a bag)
- 1/2 Cup Dried organic cranberries (bagged)
Dressing
- 1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 Cup Organic mayo
- 3 Tbsp Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp Organic honey
- 2 Tbsp Organic sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Poppy seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- For the Dressing – mix all dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside
- Add drained and cooled pasta to large salad bowl.
- Add in chicken, grapes, celery, almonds, green onions and cranberries
- Pour dressing over the top and toss evenly to coat.
- Season with more salt if necessary according to your taste.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes up to 1 day so pasta can absorb the flavor of the dressing and the other flavors to meld together.
- Add portions to individual serving bowls and place in the fridge on Sunday to pack and go in the mornings before school.
