Farmer's Market Pasta Salad


Are you looking for the perfect summer side dish?  This pasta salad makes a great potluck choice or picnic staple. It's a great dinner idea for those hot summer nights.  

2 cups baby heirloom tomatoes, halved
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced into half moons
1 cup fresh corn kernels (thawed frozen kernels will work)
2 medium peaches, diced
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (white and green parts)
1 Parmesan Vinaigrette (search this blog for the recipe)
16 oz package of penne pasta
1/3 cup of shredded chicken breast
1/3 cup rough chopped parsley
1/3 cup rough chopped cilantro

Toss together the firs 6 ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.

Prepare pasta according to package directions.  Add hot cooked pasta and chicken to veggie mixture.  Toss gently to coat.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Transfer to a serving platter and top with parsley and cilantro.  

Note:  This will serve 8 - 10.  Cut the recipe in half, if necessary.
