Kosher salt
8 ounces tubetti or other small tube-shaped pasta
1 1/4 cups 2% percent Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 rotisserie chicken
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 Kirby cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and chopped
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup water, the vinegar, mustard, dill, chives and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat into large pieces. Add the chicken, celery and cucumber to the dressing and gently stir to combine.
  • Shake the excess water from the pasta and add it to the chicken salad. Season with pepper and toss. Serve over the greens.
