Yesterday, my beau told me I’m addicted to pasta salad. Maybe I am… Anyway, I had leftover grilled chicken & veggies from the night before so whipped this up to remix them and came up with this tasty treat. Perfect for a light meal or side dish. Feel free to add or subtract veggies or meats according to your taste & what you have on hand.
