Try These Variations!
Ranch Chicken Pasta Salad Substitute ranch dressing for the mayonnaise.
Shrimp Pasta Salad Substitute 8 ounces peeled, cooked medium shrimp (40 to 60 count) for the chicken.
Sundried Tomato Pasta Salad Substitute 2 cups sundried tomatoes for the chicken; use Italian dressing instead of mayonnaise; and add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

The chicken and pasta must be cool before combining them with the mayonnaise. Otherwise the mayonnaise will melt and turn oily. While cooling the cooked pasta under running water, stir it to keep it from sticking together.
