The sweetness of the dressing and cranberries along with the savory of the onions and celery, makes this a wonderfully refreshing salad. Great to take along to picnics or potlucks.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights. I like to make a big batch on Sunday and then eat it for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

This is my go-to summer pasta salad recipe. It's so easy to make and it's always a hit. I love the combination of the lemon and poppy seeds. I also like to add some chopped fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor.

I've made this pasta salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is so flavorful and the poppy seeds add a nice crunch. I usually add a little extra lemon juice to taste.

This pasta salad was a hit at my last party! The lemon poppy seed dressing is light and refreshing, and the chicken and pasta are cooked perfectly. I also added some chopped celery and red onion for a little extra crunch. Yum!
