Chicken Pasta Salad II image

This is a super easy but wonderfully tasty salad recipe I picked up years ago which has become a summer tradition with my family! The ingredients and proportions are adjustable to personal preference. For added flavor, you can boil the pasta in a mixture of 1 part water and 1 part chicken broth.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit at parties. I usually use a rotisserie chicken to save time, and I add some chopped bacon and avocado to make it even more delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped hard-boiled eggs and croutons, which made it even more delicious.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I used a Greek yogurt dressing instead. It turned out great! The salad was light and refreshing, and the dressing was tangy and flavorful.
