I'm not usually a fan of pasta salads, but this one is really good! The combination of chicken, asparagus, and red onion is perfect.

This pasta salad is a nice change from the usual mayonnaise-based salads. The yogurt dressing is light and tangy, and the asparagus adds a nice pop of color and flavor.
