Chicken and Pasta Salad With Raw Vegetables image

This is an outstanding dish. It looks so appetizing on a platter. It is so colorful with the red tomatoes, green pepper and the cheese colored croutons. It's a great dish to take to a potluck or serve on a hot summer day. I got this recipe about 10 years ago from Doddi at work. There is a 12 chilling I included as cooking time.

Been making this salad for years and it's always a hit! I like to add a little bit of crumbled bacon and some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
