Today marks the 850th blog post on Beauty in Everything. This simple blog that I started as a way to look back on pictures and my life has now turned into a place where I also share my love for food, fashion & DIY projects. I am so happy that I have stuck with it for this long and thanks to everyone who takes the time to read it each day! 

One of my favorite meals to cook for myself is pasta salad because of the simplicity and deliciousness of combining a couple of ingredients. This chicken pesto pasta salad is so easy to make and helps you eat healthier during your mid-day meal.

You’ll need the following:

• 2 and 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta 
• Pesto Sauce – 4 Tbsp
• 1/2 cup Cucumber- Chopped
• 1/4 cup feta cheese
• 3/4 cup chicken breast- Chopped
• Salt & Pepper
• Garlic powder & Oregano

Cook pasta according to instructions on the package. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl.

Combine the pasta with the pesto sauce, mixing well so all pasta pieces are evenly coated.

Mix in the cooked, shredded chicken breast.

Store in refrigerator or serve immediately, topping with crumbled feta cheese.
