SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
SUPERB!! I love this salad! I am submitting this on behalf of my friend Christa......she is a fantastic cook and came up with this wonderful salad. I thought I would share it with all of you, enjoy! Note: Use a little more mayo than what you think looks right, it is absorbed into the pasta overnight. If it's too dry at first then it will be way too dry the next day. Salad is to be slightly moist after chilling. Cooking time is chilling time. It is best if chilled overnight to get all the flavors soaked in well.

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN & PASTA SALAD
Found this recipe in a Penzeys Spice Store on a recipe card. Sounded so good I bought the spice blend that goes in this dish and have been hooked on that blend ever since! Love it when it's warm but can be served cold as well. All the good for you veggies and beans in this dish! This is a perfect dish when you are craving...

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook cubed chicken breast seasoned with 1 tsp southwest seasoning until cooked through.
- 2. While chicken is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions, drain but do not rinse.
- 3. In a very large bowl (need room to get a good mix of ingredients), mix together all of the salad ingredients.
- 4. In a 2 cup measuring cup, mix all of the dressing ingredients with a small whisk until fully combined. Pour dressing mixture over salad mixture in the large bowl. Mix well with a spoon until all of the salad ingredients are coated with dressing.
- 5. I always double this recipe and my son, of course adds shredded cheddar on top! You can vary the amount of vegetables and beans according to what you like.
