Chicken-Gorgonzola Pasta Salad image

Found this recipe in a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake booklet Spring 2008 issue (the kind you find at check-out). It sounded so good and would probably make a wonderful lunch or a feature for a bridal/baby shower. I haven't made this yet but it will be made very soon! You may cook up your own bacon if not using precooked bacon. Prep/Cook Time is an estimate. The original recipe indicates start to finish is 20 min.

This pasta salad is too expensive to make. I would use less expensive ingredients next time.

The dressing for this pasta salad is too oily. I would use less oil next time.

This pasta salad is a bit bland. I would add some more seasoning next time.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

I wasn't sure about the combination of chicken and gorgonzola, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors meld together perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The dressing was light and tangy, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. The chicken was tender and juicy, the gorgonzola was creamy and flavorful, and the walnuts added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this ag
