A creamy tangy blend of veggies and chicken with firm pasta and every bit of salad goodness without lettuce in this Chicken Cobb Pasta Salad recipe.
I was never a big lover of pasta salad. Every time I would have some I honestly would feel underwhelmed.
I prefer my noodles drenched in, and covered with some cheese personally.
I don’t know exactly what led me to throw this together. But one day I had the bright idea to make a pasta salad in the same way I made a Cobb salad. Because if I have to choose between lettuce and pasta, pasta wins. *shrugs*
And when I tell you it was a match made in heaven that ends in marriage. It is just that!
A marriage between salad vegetables, seasoned juicy chicken, and nice firm pasta covered in two of your favorite dressings. Ranch and Italian.
And I am proud to tell you I officiated the ceremony… *takes a bow*
This recipe falls right in line with summer BBQ sides. And it could even be a meal all by itself!
I really don’t want you to take my word for it. So I’m just gonna give you the recipe and let you make it for yourself so you can see.
