This is an outstanding dish. It looks so appetizing on a platter. It is so colorful with the red tomatoes, green pepper and the cheese colored croutons. It's a great dish to take to a potluck or serve on a hot summer day. I got this recipe about 10 years ago from Doddi at work. There is a 12 chilling I included as cooking time. Ingredients:
1/2 lb pasta, i use rotini pasta |
8 ounces garlic & herb salad dressing mix (i use good seasons) |
3 cups cooked chicken, diced |
1/4 cup mayonnaise, i use hellman's |
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half |
1 cup scallion, sliced |
1/4 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced |
1 green pepper, sliced |
1 1/2 cups cheese and garlic-flavored croutons |
Directions:
1. Toss hot pasta with 3/4 cup of salad dressing, reserve remainder to serve on side with completed salad.
2. Cover and chill 12 hours.
3. Just before serving toss chicken with mayonnaise and pasta and place on a platter. Sprinkle tomatoes, scallions, mushrooms, green pepper and croutons on top of chicken and pasta.
4. Serve with reserved dressing.
