How This Mediterranean Pasta Salad Came To Be:
I find that I always have these top 10 ingredients in my fridge and pantry. These items are ones that we love, and I use them a lot in different variations anyway. So… Bonus!
My list includes: chicken stock, different types of beans, sundried tomatoes, capers, artichoke hearts, garlic, a variety of cheeses, pesto, citrus and fresh herbs. The possibilities are endless here!
Now, let’s fast forward to how this Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Salad came to be. One evening, as I stood in the pantry gazing over all of my options, it literally just came to me… I saw the sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and capers, and right then and there I knew I wanted to make a pasta salad with it.

It’s quite funny actually, but my husband credits me all the time for the ability to come up with good dishes “on the fly” just by looking in the fridge or pantry. And this is definitely one of those meals!
