Spring Mix-In' Pasta Salad

"This is a salad I came up with for my family. After they tested it, I bought it to several pot-lucks where it also appears to be really liked (that is, all gone!). It can be adjusted to whatever type greens you may prefer, such as fresh spinach instead of spring mix or green olives or shrimp instead of chicken pieces."

  1. Made this recipe as given, using a cup of cooked & diced chicken breast that I had in the freezer, & the salad went well along side a pizza that we had! Delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]
