Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe



My dad grows incredibly delicious tomatoes and red peppers. This year's crop was especially abundant, so I created this salad combination to take advantage of the bounty. My husband gave this recipe a definite "thumbs up".

This recipe is:

Quick





    Prep: 15 min. + chilling
    Yield: 8-10 Servings


Ingredients


    1 package (16 ounces) bow tie or spiral pasta, cooked and drained
    3 cups cubed cooked chicken
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup Caesar or Parmesan salad dressing
    1 tablespoon honey mustard or other prepared mustard
