Cold Chicken Nicoise

Make this luscious salad ahead of time and let

chill for 2 hours before serving your ladies luncheon.

1 lb cooked chicken, shredded or diced

4 Tbs capers with juice

¾ cup reduced fat mayonnaise

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

2 Tbs chopped fresh dill (or 1 Tbs dried)

½ to 1 lb grape tomatoes

1 jar of marinated Artichoke hearts with juice

1 11 oz pkg GRANDMA’s Noodles

Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Mix all ingredients except pasta and garnish.

Cook pasta per package directions plus 3 minutes,

rinse in cool water and drain. Put all together in large

bowl and toss gently. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.

May be chilled or served immediately.

If chilling, reserve small portion of liquid to put on

salad just before serving as noodles will absorb the dressing.

For added fancy you can add asparagus spears

cut in one inch pieces.  If you like your salad more tangy

than creamy, add 1 to 2 Tbs of a flavored vinegar.
