Super Quick Warm Smoked Chicken Salad

This is I think a weight watchers recipe from a few years ago.  It is very quick to throw together, healthy and fresh and looks quite impressive in a big bowl.

200g cherry tomatoes, halved  (or use a similar weight of diced tomatoes)
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
50g baby spinach leaves
200g smoked chicken breast, thinly sliced (a more budget friendly option would be shredded cooked chicken but the smoked chicken is nicer if the budget can stretch)
100g cooked green beans, cut into 2cm lengths
240g penne pasta

Dressing:
3 Tbs low fat sourcream
1 Tbs low fat mayonnaise
1 Tbs lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste

Combine tomatoes, onion, spinach, chicken and beans in a large boil.  Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water.  Drain and add to the chicken.  Combine dressing ingredients in a small jug and toss through the pasta.

It is that easy!  Also the dressing is a really yummy low fat coleslaw dressing too.
