Creamy Chicken and Pasta Salad

This was really good.  If you like that cucumber-yogurt sauce that goes on Gyros, then you will like this.  We bought a rotisserie chicken for dinner one night and then took the chicken off the bone for this the next night.  Since the Food Network Cookbook is my newest cookbook, it is also from there.   Don't worry, eventually we will try other recipes.  We always do.

 The assembling. Cooked tubetti noodles, Greek Yogurt, mayo, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, fresh dill, chives, chicken, celery, Kirby cucumber, mesclun greens.

(actually we couldn't find Mesclun so we bought Butter Lettuce)  







This is the Greek Yogurt- 1 1/4 cups.  Add the vinegar, mayo, mustard, fresh chopped dill, and chives. 




We had a heck of a time figuring out what a Kirby Cucumber was.  Turned out to be a smaller pickling cucumber.  Peeled, cut, seeded.  Also cut up the celery and add both the sauce, along with the chicken and the noodles.  Salt and Pepper to taste.




Finished- quick, easy.




....and delicious!
