Farmers' Market Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups Halved Baby Heirloom Tomatoes
• 2 small Zucchini, thinly sliced into half moons
• 1 small Red Bell Pepper, cut into thin strips
• 1 cup Fresh Corn Kernels
• 1 cup Diced Firm, Ripe Fresh Peaches (about 2 medium)
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced Green Onions
• 1 (8-oz.) package Penne Pasta*
• 2 cups Shredded Smoked Chicken (about 10 oz.)

Vinaigrette

• ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup chopped Fresh basil
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

1. Toss together first 7 ingredients in a large bowl, and let stand 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions. Add hot cooked pasta and chicken to tomato mixture; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving platter. *1 (20-oz.) package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini may be substituted

Cook the pasta al dente (1 or 2 minutes shorter than package directions specify) so it holds its shape when tossed with the vegetables and vinaigrette.
