Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad

  I found this recipe on pinterest but forgot to write the site it came from.  I need to start pinning the recipes to my boards instead of just writing them on my recipe cards.
  Corey and I both liked this.  Next time I will have to do it for a family get together or cut the recipe in half.  It did make a little much for just two people.

Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad

1 Lb rotini noodles, cooked
2 Lbs thin sliced chicken cutlets
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 large red pepper, cored, seeded, diced
1 large green pepper, cored, seeded, diced
1 medium red onion, halved, thinly sliced
2 scallions, trimmed, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp fresh dill, minced

Dressing

1 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil

For salad, cook noodles as directed on box.  Sprinkle lemon juice over chicken, grill until done.  Cut into bite sized pieces.  Toss with rest of salad ingredients.  For dressing, whisk all but canola oil until combined.  Gradually whisk in oil.  Pour over salad and toss to coat.

**The only thing I would change, is it is a little sweet so less honey next time.
