I was looking for a cold pasta salad recipe, but if you know anything about me, you'll see that I spice or change up ingredients from time to time. Juicy chicken,salty bacon, and luscious tomato pasta salad. I made up Uncle Dan's Dressing. You could use any flavor of Hidden Valley dressing, maybe even Sriracha if you enjoy things spicy.
