Chicken Salad with Pasta

Chicken pasta salad goes great along side barbecued chicken, hot dogs and Italian sausage. Actually, it’s great with any barbecue meal. Heck yeah, serve it cold and watch it disappear.

Tuna can be substituted in place of the chicken if that sounds more appealing. Both are great in this pasta salad recipe. And who doesn’t love a good cold tuna pasta salad?

Pasta Salad with Chicken

When I make pasta salads, I like to mix all the ingredients together first, except for the pasta. Doing it this way, makes mixing and coating the pasta easier. There’s less of a chance of breaking up the pasta with too much stirring. I do it this way with my potato salads too.

Chicken Pasta Salad

Makes a perfect side dish to serve with everyday meals and great for taking to potlucks and family barbecues. This is always a winner with our family and friends.
