Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups uncooked farfalle ( bow tie pasta; about 6 oz)
2 cups cubed cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
3 tbsp coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
1 1/2 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove
4 curly leaf lettuce leaves

Directions:

To prepare salad, cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain; rinse with cold water. Combine pasta, chicken, tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl.
To prepare walnut pesto, combine basil and next 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor; pulse 6 times or until finely minced. Add pesto to pasta mixture, tossing gently to coat. Place 1 lettuce leaf on each of 4 plates; top each serving with salad mixture.
