Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the protein pasta in well-salted water until just tender, then drain and cool slightly.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the chicken, eggs, avocado, and tomatoes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the warm pasta with olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard.
  4. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss until coated.
  5. Add chicken, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and blue cheese.
  6. Mix gently so the avocado keeps its shape.
  7. Finish with chives and adjust seasoning if needed.

Tips

  • Let the pasta cool a little before adding avocado to keep it from softening too much.
  • Use leftover chicken to make this even faster.
  • Taste before adding extra salt — blue cheese already brings plenty.
