Below is the pasta salad recipe from the last activity that a lot of people were asking about.

Pasta Salad with Chicken and Sun-dried Tomatoes

1 pound pasta (I like Rigatoni) cooked, rinsed and drained well

¾ cup toasted pine nuts

¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained well)

4 or 5 green onions, chopped

2-3 cups chicken (I used seared chicken that we finished in the oven, you could use a rotisserie chicken from the store, or just grill some breasts)

Fresh Basil to taste (I usually use about 20 leaves)

Combine together pasta, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, green onions and chicken.  Tear Basil and add in right before serving.

**To toast the pine nut; toast over low heat in a fry pan with no oil. Stir constantly.  Remove as soon as you see browning happen.

Dressing:

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup canola oil

1/3 cup Seasoned vinegar or champagne vinegrette

1 Tbs. Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix

1/8 cup apple juice

1/8 cup water

salt

lots of fresh ground pepper

Combine all ingredients and pour over pasta salad.  Sometimes when I need more dressing I add ½ cup of champagne dressing.
