Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups fusilli pasta
¾ cup broccoli florets
¾ cup shredded cooked chicken
¾ cup sweet corn, drained
8 cherry tomatoes, halved, or more to taste
3 green onions, finely chopped
4 tablespoons light olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons liquid honey
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer pasta to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, fit a deep saucepan with a steamer insert. Add 2 inches of water and heat to boiling. Place broccoli in the steamer, cover, and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add to the bowl with the cooked pasta.
  • Add chicken, corn, tomatoes, and green onions to the bowl with the pasta.
  • Whisk olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl. Pour dressing over pasta salad and toss to coat.
