Very nice salad! I did use grilled chicken rather than canned. Used what pasta I had on hand, which ended up being a combo of elbow mac and bow tie! Left out the corn and olives, added cucumber. Just goes to show you can really do what you want with it. Loved the mayo in the dressing!

Really good....reminded me of a cold chicken alfredo. The only thing I did differently is I used both shredded swiss cheese and cheddar cheese. I also used "real" chicken instead of canned.

great pasta salad! i was looking for a quick/easy meal to use up some leftover grilled chicken in and this worked wonderfully. i saved the olives for a garnishment and left out the celery .. just personal preference. lovely summer meal.

Good salad that is so versatile. I'm giving it 5 stars, but it's certainly a recipe that commands changes that suit personal taste. Next time, I will use Zero Calorie Russian Dressing instead of Italian and used Lite Mayo to reduce the calories. Also I subbed in a fresh, seeded jalapeño pepper for the green pepper and increased the onion. I had Vadalia on hand but next time will definitely use red. Finally, replaced the green olives with black olives. Thanks for a great base recipe! ! !

This was fantastic and MY KIDS loved it! The dressing was so easy, but a perfect blend of ingredients. We didn't put in mushrooms or corn and changed the green olives to black...but it was a HUGE hit and we will be making it for summer bbq's!

I never write reviews on this site and I had to write about this one! Even my husband and daughter couldn't get enough of this! My husband asked when I was making it again. It's really good and the ingredients work so well together. I used some left over rotisserie chicken that I had instead of the canned kind but other than that, followed this recipe exactly. Turned out really YUMMY! Thank you.

I tweaked this recipe a little. I added mild banana pepper rings and paprika for a touch of heat and used red bell pepper for sweetness. I also seared boneless breast filets then diced them and finished cooking in a pan bringing 1 cup water, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup soy sauce then adding the chicken and stirring constantly until thoroughly cooked, then drained and added to the salad. This keeps the chicken extremely moist. The salad was awesome and disappeared in a flash.
