Grilled Chicken and Pasta Salad image

A main dish salad that is a summer staple in our house. Even our 4-year old loves it! It's refreshing, yet filling. I serve it with crusty rolls and chocolate pie for dessert. Also, use leftover chicken if you have some to make it that much easier. I've also found that this tastes great even without the chilling time. Hope you like this as much as we do!

The recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out well. However, I found that the dressing was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil or adding a bit of vinegar to balance out the flavor.
