Chicken Pasta Salad Recipes

If the chicken is a little dry it will absorb the dressing if left for a while and produce some great flavour.

You could also use leftover turkey instead of the chicken if desired.

Here are three versions you can try, an oil and vinegar type, a creamy version and a spicy one.
