FIESTA CHICKEN PASTA SALAD



Fiesta Chicken Pasta Salad image

I came up with this a few years back when pasta salad was requested for a potluck. It is very flexible. You can use your favorite pasta, alter the amount of veggies, substitute red pepper for green, add black olives, or whatever. Use your imaginaton and enjoy! Prep time does not include refrigeration time. NOTE: If you have trouble finding Fiesta Ranch Dip Mix, use Recipe #134253. It makes a large batch, you just need 2 or 3 tablespoons.
