For 100 years, Hellmann’s has brought together the best ingredients – such as oil, vinegar and now cage-free eggs – to help bring out the best meals and moments to America’s tables.
I personally grew up on Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise and to me and my family, there is NO substitute.
It’s always fresh, creamy and consistently delicious.To celebrate its 100th birthday, Hellmann’s is teaming up with celebrity chef Mario Batali to showcase how decades of delicious meals start with real, quality ingredients.
Mario put his own spin on a classic recipe for Chicken Pasta Salad with Green Olives and Raisins and it inspired me to create my own unique twist on his salad and enter the contest myself.
How do you make Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad?
For this recipe you’ll need Farfalle pasta, boneless chicken breasts, Kalamata olives, capers, sun dried tomatoes, scallions, Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, lemon, oregano, Kosher salt and black pepper.
I used grilled chicken, but you can also use any leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken to save some time as well. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and cool.
While pasta is cooking, season your chicken with salt and pepper; then grill until chicken is cooked through. Times may vary depending on the size of your chicken; approx. 15 minutes. Remove from the grill; then slice the chicken into thin strips.
In large bowl, whisk together the Hellmann’s mayonnaise, oregano, lemon zest and juice until it’s creamy. Add cooked pasta, chicken, olives, capers, sun dried tomatoes and scallions and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
