Southwestern Shell Pasta Salad by Salad FoodieChop, chop, chop and get your frustrations out making this pasta salad with south-of-the-border appeal.

Chicken, Tomatoes & Rotini Salad by Salad FoodieHearty pasta salad to help use up leftover roast chicken or turkey. I've a bumper crop of grape tomatoes which work well in this too. I try to go light on the seasonings, so follks can adjust as desired when served. |
