This chicken and pasta salad would be a nice pasta salad to make use of whatever leftover chicken you’ve got in the fridge. Having said that though, I actually didn’t use leftover chicken here but I just want you to know that you could easily use leftovers. And this is just a different version of the other pasta salads I’ve made before. I just added chicken here and used raspberry vinaigrette instead of Italian dressing. And of course, different pasta.

Summer means a lot of things. One of them is making cold pasta salads. I suppose it’s ok to make them during winter too but it is usually during the Summer that I get to indulge in whipping up different kinds of cold pasta salads. They’d go with any grilled meat entrees, including kebabs, satays, burgers, just to name a couple. Pasta salads prefect to serve as side dishes during the summer parties in the backyard or as lunch for the family on regular days. This Mini Rotelle Cold Pasta Salad W/ Cheese & Sunflower Seeds is basically another version of Pasta & Broccoli Salad W/ Golden Raisins and Sunflower Seeds but without the golden raisins and chopped fresh broccoli. I added chopped eggs instead.

Cold pasta salads are good side dishes with grilled meat dishes during these Spring warm days which of course extend all the way to Summer season. This Stuffed Tortellini & Broccoli Slaw Pasta Salad W/ Raspberry Vinaigrette is similar to the Corabella 4-Cheese Tortelloni & Broccoli Florets Cold Salad and Tricolor Rotini & Broccoli Salad W/ Golden Raisins and Sunflower Seeds. In the two aforementioned pasta salads, I used Italian Salad dressing. This time around, I used raspberry vinaigrette dressing that I was so happy to find at the store just the other day.

And of course, this is another simple dish for the Corabella cheese-stuffed pasta that are just so handy for any day.
