was in a hurry so used a large can of chicken instead of grilled chicken. I shredded it in the salad and it was very good. Quick, easy, and satisfying even as a main course.

Goes together fairly quickly, like the combo of greens and pasta, love the crunch of the veggies. My hubby said I could send this to work for lunch any day. That is high praise because he almost never takes leftovers.

Excellent especially made the night before. I also added pepperoni, red onion, and broccoli.

No tomoatoes due to the tomato recall. It was still good. Probably will make again when tomatoes are safe.

I follow the directions for this recipe as written except I omit the salad dressing, toss the pasta with some olive oil and then let everyone add the dressing of their choice. It makes a great summertime dinner.

This was just so-so. My husband loved it, but I didn't think it was anything special. It is hearty enough to eat as a main salad dinner though. And it's nice that it's very versital so you can use up whatever veggies are in the fridge.

Added carrots for color- but actually it also added texture and flavor.
