"I first prepared this pasta salad for a family picnic at a national park and everyone really enjoyed it. I'm sure Mother Nature helped make that meal so memorable, but I still find myself serving this often during the summer," writes Pam Guerin of Skowhegan, Maine. A zippy dressing lightly coats the tossed mixture of pasta, chicken, tomato and onion.

I love the fact that this recipe is so versatile. You can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add a bit of chopped celery and red onion for extra crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this recipe is an exception. The dressing is light and flavorful, and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
