- 6 canned artichokes cut in 4
- 5 tbsp kalamata olives sliced
- 3 tbsp capers
- 2 cups packed of rocket
- 14 cherry tomatoes halved
- Mustard dressing to taste
Instructions

- While the chicken is cooking, bring water to boil on a medium size pot. Pour the buckwheat pasta, and cook following the package instructions.
- Prepare the dressing by mixing equal parts of extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar & seeded mustard.
- Add all the ingredients to a large salad bowl, and mix well to combine.

Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken instead of grilled chicken.
- You can substitute the rocket for other dark, leafy greens.
- Other olives like green olives or gaeta black olives work great too!
- Get creative and add other fresh veggies like fresh cucumber or red bell pepper.
-
Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you're cooking a big amount for meal prep, don't add the dressing until before you eat it! Otherwise the rocket will get soggy.
