A
birthday surprise for my Master is this elegant salad. Lots of
chicken, a bit of tomatoes and corn and a luscious dressing made of
lot fat yogurt and avocado!
This
is a more healthy substitute for the normal mayonnaise found in most
chicken pasta salad. It's taste does not try to be the same, but
rather an upscale more adult version. Try this for your next pot luck
or game day celebration.
Ingredients
¼
box lg shell pasta
2
ripe avocados
2
tablespoons juice + zest of one lime
½
can corn kernels
2
Roma tomatoes, diced
2
tablespoons green onion, thinly chopped (plus extra for garnish)
4
- 5 chicken thighs (boneless-skinless)
Instructions
Heat
water for pasta & cook according to package directions.
Chop
the tomatoes. Zest & juice the lime.
Saute
the chicken in oil over medium heat. Place in heated oil and let cook
for 7 minutes, then turn and cook for an additional 7 minutes.
Remove
to paper towel lined plate. Add the corn to the skillet and let cook
for about 4 – 5 minutes. It will absorb that wonderful chicken
flavor and soften to a delightful addition. Remove and drain on
paper towels.
Remove
the insides from the avocados, chop and add lime juice & zest.
Drop
the cube into the food processor bowl. Add the yogurt and old bay
seasonings. Pulse until this has combined and creamy.
Season
to taste with salt and pepper. Set the sauce aside.
When
your pasta is done cooking, drain it in a colander and run the pasta
under cold water until it is completely cool.
Chop
the cooked chicken into 1 inch pieces.
Place
the cooled pasta in a large bowl and top with half of the avocado
sauce (you might have a decent amount of sauce left over) Stir in the
chicken, the corn and the tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and
pepper.
Sprinkle
with chives.
Seal
and place in refrigerator for flavors to blend.
When
ready to serve, add additional avocado dressing to your taste.

On
His birthday (which was not long after we met):
You've
segway'd Houston's Space Center and visited old bath
Seen
a desert's dam, and with the powerful, you've laughed.
Eaten
at Ramsey's table, walked “ 'de la Concorde”
Bask'd
in Spanish sunlight, Many airliners you've soared.
Upstate
New York strolled around a Christmas lake.
A
Newseum, a cricket match or baseball game you'll make.
A
dinner based of hot dogs or pizza with a friend
recharges
strong your sexy soul and its off to work again.
A
birthday Master, a monolith, a mentor oh so strong
Then
unaware and so naive came miklwhite along.
With
plushies, yellow roses, perhaps a limerick or two
This
eager slave just didn't know what to feel toward you.
The
parties and the fireworks that lit new years Big Ben
Are
dull compared to my old eyes to see your words again.
Six
years upon this path we've trod, learning a thing or two
Of
what is left, my life, my breath, I gladly give to You.
