Sesame Gingery Soy Pasta Salad with Chopped Chicken

1. Cook ditalini pasta according to package instructions. When finished, rinse under cold water for a few seconds to cool off.
2. Bake your chicken (or use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken) and chop it.
3. While the pasta is cooking and chicken is baking/cooling, prepare the dressing.
4. Add all dressing ingredients (extra virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds) to a bowl or jar and mix thoroughly until well combined.
5. Once the pasta and chicken are ready, assemble the salad. Add the cooled pasta, chopped veggies (shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, diced red bell pepper), prepared dressing, and chopped chicken to a large bowl.
6. Toss everything to combine well, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients.
7. Serve fresh, or cover and chill in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
