Chicken Bow Tie Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Pam Guerin

"'I first prepared this pasta salad for a family picnic at a national park and everyone really enjoyed it. I'm sure Mother Nature helped make that meal so memorable, but I still find myself serving this often during the summer,' writes Pam Guerin of Skowhegan, Maine. A zippy dressing lightly coats the tossed mixture of pasta, chicken, tomato and onion."

This recipe was seriously lacking in flavor. I used a seeded and chopped fresh jalapeno instead of canned green chile. I used parsley instead of cilantro. Also I used whole wheat penne. These modifications I made because of what I had on hand. Perhaps it would have been better if I followed the recipe exactly. Everybody who ate this at my home had to seriously salt it and add hot sauce. I will not make this again.

It was just ok. I didn't change anything, except I left the chilies out. My boys did eat it, but it was just lacking something.... not sure what though. I'll check back to see what other cooks recommend!
