    Barbecue Chicken Pasta Salad

    If you want to blow away a crowd this holiday weekend, make this BBQ Chicken Pasta Salad! Many moons ago, I made this at Pampered Chef parties, and it was always a hit! I couldn’t find a single record of it other than the one I wrote down in our family cookbook. You can toss all the ingredients together beforehand or at the party. It’s a great make-ahead option for entertaining. The noodles soaked up with the dressing are fantastic! I used Hidden Valley Light Ranch Dressing and Terry Black’s BBQ Sauce. Also, I used Trotelle noodles, but any curly noodle will work…rigatoni, cavatappi, cellentani, etc. If you’re in a hurry or last minute, you could use ready-made bacon. ⠀
