Chicken-Gorgonzola Pasta Salad image

Found this recipe in a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake booklet Spring 2008 issue (the kind you find at check-out). It sounded so good and would probably make a wonderful lunch or a feature for a bridal/baby shower. I haven't made this yet but it will be made very soon! You may cook up your own bacon if not using precooked bacon. Prep/Cook Time is an estimate. The original recipe indicates start to finish is 20 min.

I love how versatile this pasta salad is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped walnuts or dried cranberries for a little extra crunch.
