Preparation time: 30 minutes
Yields: 4 portions

Ingredients:

• 500 gr of pasta, your favorite kind
• 1 chicken breast, shredded or cubed
• 150 gr of sweet corn
• 150 gr of green peas
• 2 carrots
• 1 cup of mayo
• ¼ cup of mustard
• 1 tbsp of white vinegar
• 1 tsp of sugar
• Pepper to taste
• Salt to taste

Method:

1. In a large pot, over medium heat, boil your pasta until al dente. These ones are the best for this recipe: girandole, penne, rigatoni, farfalle or ditanili.
2. In a separate pot, boil your chicken breast and the carrots. When ready set aside to cool down.
3. Cut your carrots in small pieces. Tiny squares or triangles work really good. If you prefer big chunks that is fine too.
4. Take a large bowl and mix your pasta, shredded chicken breast, small pieces of carrot, sweet corn and green peas. Stir to combine really well.
5. To make the dressing: combine the mayo, mustard, white vinegar, sugar, ground pepper and salt. If you want it to be a bit spicy, add some red pepper.
6. Pour the dressing all over the pasta salad. Give it a good stir and it is ready to serve!
