Pasta salad with chicken, peppers and cumin

Very simple and at the same time special because of its taste.

 

Ingredients:

-       500 gr. Penne rigate

-       2 chicken filets, in cubes

-       3 peppers, roughly chopped

-       4-5 table spoons of olive oil

-       2 table spoons of ground cumin

-       bag of mixed salad

-       salt & pepper

-       2 table spoons of mayonnaise

 

Preparation:

Cook the penne according to the preparation method on the packaging.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the chicken and the cumin. Let the chicken brown a little and then add the peppers. Turn off the heat when the ingredients are cooked.

Put the pasta in a bowl and add the chicken and the peppers including the oil that’s left in the pan. Put in the mixed salad and add the mayonnaise and mix everything together.

Enjoy!

 

I ate this salad for the first time at my sisters’ place in Patras. I was immediately amazed by the flavor and I have been making this salad ever since.My version today is an inspiration of my sisters' recipe. I realize that cumin is not a very usual taste. If you like you can use one tablespoon instead of two. I prefer eating this salad still a little bit warm.
