I love the combination of sweet and savory flavors in this salad. The orange chicken is crispy and flavorful, while the pasta and vegetables are tender and refreshing.

The orange chicken pasta salad was a great make-ahead dish for my busy weeknight dinners. I simply assembled the salad in the morning and then chilled it until dinnertime.

This orange chicken pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! The sweet and tangy dressing was the perfect complement to the crispy chicken and tender pasta. I will definitely be making this again.
