Chicken, Tomato, Basil & Pasta Salad



1 (1-pound) package Rigatoni
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 1/2 cups cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup torn basil leaves
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small white onion, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
Natural Fine Sea Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces mozzarella, torn

Cook pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water for al dente texture. Drain and rinse with cold water. In a small bowl, pour vinegar and slowly whisk in olive oil to create the dressing. In a large serving bowl, combine pasta, chicken, garlic, basil, tomato, onion, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Toss well. Top with torn mozzarella and drizzle with vinaigrette to serve.
