This is an easy recipe that can be prepared ahead of time. Great for those hot summer days! Also good with a herb and garlic dressing, or a Caesar type dressing. If preparing ahead of time, mix all together just before serving.

We really enjoyed this one. I used sweet grape tomatoes cut in halves instead of the plum tomatoes (for a sweeter taste) and used Vadilia onion dressing instead of Italian. The feta cheese is a nice touch and my whole family loved it. A nice sweet tasting pasta salad. Thanks Spaggie! Read More

Very nice! I marinated my chicken for about an hour and then grilled it. I also finely minced about 1/4 cup of sweet onion and about half of a sweet red pepper. I also tossed in a few sliced baby portobellos I had left over plus a couple of extra splashed of dressing for the added veggie volume. Read More

I thought this was delicious. I also used a little fresh squeezed lemon on the chicken and it gave it a little more flavor. Very good! Read More

Thank goodness for the Italian dressing or this salad wouldn't have had much taste. I do agree -- the feta cheese was a nice touch. And it is a good quick recipe for those hot summer nights. But next time I may season the chicken strips differently (maybe with more kick like cajun spices?). Read More

I tried something a little different with this. I am on a low-fat diet so I used 2 tablespoons of Italian Pesto salad dressing(instead of the feta cheese) and then 1/4 cup of fat-free Italian dressing. I also added garlic powder red pepper flakes black pepper and basil to the pasta. The recipe tasted great even without the feta and parmesan cheese. Read More
