 Ingredients List

  • Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups chopped asparagus (NOTE: Trim and cut into 1-inch long pieces.)
  • 12 oz whole-wheat or brown rice rotini or penne (TIP: For even more color, opt for tri-color pasta.)
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plain coconut yogurt or reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup light coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

2. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, mist with cooking spray and cool to room temperature on a tray.

3. Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, coconut milk, lemon juice, honey and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

4. To a large bowl with asparagus, add pasta, chicken, parsley, cilantro, dill, mint, onions and dressing and mix well. Season with additional salt and pepper.
