Creamy, flavorful and delicious, this barbecue chicken bacon pasta salad is going to be one of the first empty dishes that you will notice on the table. It’s that good. My sister, Linda, asked me if I had a pasta salad recipe on the blog and gave me the ingredients she loved in the pasta salads she has had in the past. I told my sister that I would make one for her and this is it. My family LOVED this pasta salad recipe and I know Linda and her family will love this just as much as we do. Stay tuned for another tasty chicken pasta salad recipe that I’ll be adding to the blog soon, inspired from Linda as well.

    This is so good! I’ve made it twice. First time without alvocados because I didn’t have any and then second time with them. Delicious both ways. Good job!
