To make the salad dressing, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar and reserved vegetable stock in a bowl. Add the garlic, then season with the paprika, white pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix 3/4 of the salad dressing with the cooled pasta, mixed vegetables, and the tomatoes. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the dressing with the ketchup to make a dip.

To make the chicken nuggets, first mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese in a wide bowl. Sift the flour into a separate bowl and season. Next, beat the eggs into a third bowl and season. Take each chunk of chicken and roll it first in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, so they are evenly coated all over. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, and fry the nuggets over medium heat, turning, for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve the nuggets with the lettuce and the pasta salad with the dip on the side.
