  • DRESSING

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Drain the chicken and reserve the broth. Add the chicken broth to the saucepan you will cook the macaroni in; add enough water to just cover the macaroni; cook macaroni al dente, drain and run under cold water; cool completely.

  • Step 2: Break up the chicken and add to a large bowl, add the cooled macaroni, tomato, cheese cubes, celery, cucumber and green onion; gently mix well.

  • Step 3: In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard and pepper; pour over the chicken/macaroni mix and stir lightly until well coated.

  • Step 4: Line platter with crisp lettuce leaves and fill with salad. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
