Looney-Spoons Cookbook by Janet and Greta Podleski


List of Ingredients




6 ounces uncooked rotini or other shaped pasta (about 2 cups dry)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
1 cup diced celery
1 cup mandarin orange sections (try apples if you hate mandarins)
1/2 cup water chestnuts, cut into slivers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lettuce (any kind you like)



Recipe



Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add the chicken, celery, orange sections, water chestnuts, and parsley. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, stir together yogurt, honey, orange juice concentrate, poppy seeds, mustard, and pepper. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken/pasta mixture and toss. Serve on a bed of lettuce.

Makes 4 servings.

Hint: If you don't have any chicken on hand (or on foot or on head or on...), try tuna, turkey, crabmeat, or shrimp in its place.
