Sweet & Savory Pasta Salad

Everyone loves pasta salad, right? But I’m telling you, this one (which apparently came from a mistake) is my absolute favorite. I crave this more than any other pasta salad I’ve ever had!

The ingredients are so unique that it gives it a sweet and savory flavor. But my mom swears she never made it the way I make it. She said her original recipe did NOT have green olives in it, but she can’t remember what it had instead.

So I just make it like this. And…since summer is here, it’s pasta salad season! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 boxes of tri-colored pasta

  • Cooked and drained

• 2-3 cups of red seedless grapes

  • Washed and loose

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast

  • Or pulled rotisserie chicken

• 6 oz jar sliced salad olives drained

  • I know it’s weird, but I pitch all the pimentos.

Sauce Ingredients

• Hellman’s Light Mayo – 4-6 spatula dollops

• 2 Tbs or more Red Wine Vinegar

• 1 tsp dill

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 Tbs sugar

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Directions

• Put first 4 ingredients in large bowl and chill.

• Whisk sauce ingredients together until it looks like salad dressing.

• Fold into pasta salad.

• Refrigerate 2-4 hours or overnight. The longer the better!

• ENJOY!
