I love this quick and easy chicken pasta salad recipe! It only takes a few minutes to throw together, it can be made ahead of time, and it’s both tasty and filling. Plus, you likely already have the ingredients in your pantry.
I can remember plenty of times where I’ve been thinking and searching for a recipe for a potluck that’s simple to make and quick to throw together because I’ve left it to the last minute. This quick and easy chicken pasta salad recipe is perfect for a situation like that!
As we’re approaching summer here in New Zealand, the weather is getting warmer. This dish is great for those days when you really don’t want to turn the oven on to cook a hot dinner, or even consume a hot dinner. You can even make the pasta salad ahead of time and put it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat it, so you can get the cooking done before the weather gets too warm.
