Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb penne or 1 lb fusilli or 1 lb farfalle pasta
olive oil
1/2 cup canned chick-peas or 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup arugula
1/4 cup crumbled feta
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
6 jarred artichoke hearts, chopped
2 tbsp chopped roasted almonds
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 (3 oz) can tuna, drained
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olive
2 tbsp chopped red onions
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1/4 english cucumber, diced
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar
1/2 cup shredded chicken
1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce

Directions:

Cook the pasta as per package instructions. Rinse in cold water and toss with a little olive oil. Refrigerate.
For each day, whisk together the liquid ingredients, if there is more than one.
Mix the remaining ingredients with 1 1/2 cup of the cooked pasta, then toss with the liquid ingredients.
For the Chicken and Pesto version, I found that warming the pasta in the microwave just a bit helped it toss more evenly with the pesto. You do need to let it cool a bit before packing it up for your lunch.
