Expert Tips

To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until almonds begin to brown, then stirring constantly until they are light brown.

Dried cherries can be used instead of the red grapes.

You can use frozen diced cooked chicken, thawed, or cut-up deli rotisserie chicken.

This was so good! I cooked my own chicken breasts and added cubed cheddar cheese as others suggested. For the dressing I used what I had--Italian Salad Dressing from the Olive Garden Restaurant. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I'll be making this throughout the summer.

I was so happy to see this recipe! I like to use the same Suddenly Salad mix, adding the chicken as you have done, but with a can of Caribbean Black Beans (in spicy sauce), chopped tomatoes and sometimes Garbanzo beans. It really stretches the pasta and makes for an excellent potluck side salad.
