With its tender chicken, pasta, and fresh vegetables tossed in a tangy barbecue dressing, this BBQ Chicken Pasta Salad is a real treat. This dish is great for potlucks, picnics, or as a filling lunch or dinner.
Ingredients: 12 oz pasta, cooked and cooled. 2 cups shredded cooked chicken. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped. 1/2 cup corn kernels, cooked. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional.
Instructions: Mix the cooked pasta, chicken shreds, cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn, and cilantro in a large bowl.
