Your recipe sounds DELISH and I will have to make it at least once this summer! That sounds really good - thanks for sharing!

I cook and season some boneless chix breasts with a little olive oil, garlic salt & mesquite seasoning before cutting into bite size pieces & let cool. Cook some bow tie pasta [el dente] drain, rinse in cold water til completely chilled, drain again-well and lightly toss with a couple TBL EV olive oil, then I use LOTS of ranch dressing in a separate bowl and add about 1/2 cup sour cream to firm it up a bit and toss that with pasta, chopped celery & sometimes some frozen peas. I serve it on a bed on chopped Romaine lettuce- it's very yummy but don't make more than you eat at a meal, it doesn't carry over real well. Best served fresh! Really good.
