Method
- Boil the pasta, then cool under running water. Mix the mayo, mustard and honey in a large bowl and loosen with a little water to make a dressing the consistency of double cream. Add the pasta, chicken, onions, basil and tomatoes, season to taste, then gently mix together.

This was a perfect meal for dinner on a warm summers evening. I did put in two spoons each of the mayo, mustard and honey. Just so I had a bit more dressing, after reading other people's comments about it being dry.
This went down a storm though and will do it again as it was so quick and easy. It would also be perfect for picnics & BBQ's
As I live in Greece I'm always looking for something simple for the hot evenings here.....& this is just the thing! I poach chicken breasts with some "Chicken Seasoning" & leave to cool in the water, which keeps the meat nice & moist. Don't find spring onions here very often, so use sliced red onion & I always add a couple of thinly sliced Roasted Red Peppers in Oil (a very useful Greek product).
