Mediterranean Pasta Salad

"This makes a great side dish, but since it's packed with delicious veggies and tender chicken, it's also hearty enough to be a main course," says Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien. "Be ready to take your taste buds on a little trip to the Mediterranean Sea."

Serves: 2

Ingredients:
1 cup rotini pasta
Cooking spray
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup chopped red onion
4 ounces cooked and chopped skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup roasted red peppers packed in water, drained and chopped
1/4 cup fat-free Italian dressing
3 tablespoons reduced-fat feta cheese
2 tablespoons sliced black olives

Directions:
Cook pasta in a medium pot according to package instructions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Bring a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray to medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and red onion until softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer to bowl with pasta and let cool. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
