Directions

Mince garlic in a food processor.

Add 1 1/2T basil, sugar, mustard, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Process 10 seconds.

With the machine running, drizzle in oil until slightly thickened.

The vegetables and chicken will dilute the intense flavor of the dressing.

Makes 1¾ cup

Steam zucchini 1 minute and drain.

Cool under running water.

Cook pasta al dente, cool under running water, drain and dry.

In separate bowls, toss chicken, zucchini, pasta and tomatoes with ¼ cup dressing each.

Gently combine chicken, zucchini, pasta and green onions.

Adjust seasonings and dressings to taste.

Spoon salad onto a platter.

Sprinkle tomatoes, olives and pine nuts on top.

Pass cheese separately.
