This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I used a light vinaigrette dressing instead. It was still delicious!

I love that this recipe is so customizable. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a little bit of chopped red onion and celery for some extra crunch.

I used grilled chicken in this recipe instead of boiled chicken and it was delicious! The grilled chicken added a nice smoky flavor to the salad.

I added some chopped bacon to this recipe and it was amazing! The smokiness of the bacon really took the flavor up a notch.
