Porch Party Pasta Salad

This is a very easy recipe!

2 cups chicken (cooked and chopped)
1lb. rotini pasta (cooked and drained)
8oz. bacon (cooked and chopped **I did mine in the oven while the pasta cooked--so easy!)
1 bunch spinach--cut
1/2 cup black olives
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup feta cheese Put the bacon on a baking sheet and placed in the oven at 350 until crispy:


While the pasta and bacon cooked, I whisked together the Dijon Vinaigrette:


3/4 cup of olive oil (I actually used less--more like 1/2 cup)

1/2 cup tarragon vinegar (didn't have that on hand, so I used white wine vinegar instead)

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

small garlic clove minced

1/4 tsp. sugar Mix together drained pasta and chicken:


Coarsely cut spinach:

Mix with pasta and chicken:

Add remaining ingredients and toss with Dijon Vinaigrette:

Enjoy! :)
