I am not the biggest fan of the traditional macaroni salad, but I love a good pasta salad. It makes a great summer time lunch. I make a big batch and we have lunch for a good portion of the week.
Pasta salads can be hit or miss with my kids. It all depends on what is in the salad and the dressing. This salad turned out so yummy and was a bit hit. I am so glad I doubled the recipe, because it did not last long in house.
Chicken Club Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 12 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups cooked and cubed chicken breasts
