  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Head Fresh Lettuce Chopped
  • 2-3 Roma Tomatoes Diced (OR 1 Cup cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • 4 Slices Turkey Bacon Cooked until crispy and then crumbled
  • 2 Cups Cooked Chicken Chopped
  • 1 Container (8.8 Ounces) Barilla Chickpea Rotini Pasta (OR whole wheat pasta)

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing your lettuce and tomatoes thoroughly and then chopping, dicing or halving your vegetables as described in the ingredients list above.
  • Next cook your turkey bacon according to the instructions on the packaging. Make sure to cook until the turkey bacon is extremely crispy so that you are easily able to crumble or chop it.
  • Chop some freshly cooked chicken or you can purchase store bought pre-cooked chicken and chop it.
  • Next, cook your whole wheat or chickpea pasta according to the instructions on the packaging and then allow the pasta to cool down completely.
  • Combine your chopped lettuce, diced or halved roma or cherry tomatoes, crumbled turkey bacon, cooked and chopped chicken and room temperature whole wheat or rotini pasta into a large salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste preference.
  • Drizzle primal kitchen ranch dressing on top. Toss, serve and enjoy!
  • Hint: If you are meal prepping this BLT Chicken Pasta salad, toss all of your ingredients (without the dressing) and pre-portion into meal prep air-tight containers. Pour some dressing in a dressing cup and place inside of your container. When you are ready to serve, pour the dressing on top, shake and then serve!
