Description
Easy and elegant pasta salad! Great for the summer or any time of the year!
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pasta (rotini, Penne, Small Shells, Etc)
- 1 cup Diced Celery
- 4 whole Scallions
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken (Rotisserie Is Awesome)
- ½ cups Sliced Or Slivered Almonds
- ½ cups Dried Cherries
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Miracle Whip
- 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- ¼ cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 cups Poppy Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Preparation
Cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain in a colander, then run some cold water over it for a second, and allow to cool.
Chop celery, dice scallions, and chop (or shred) chicken into bite sized pieces. Mix these together with almonds and dried cherries.
Combine the dressing: mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, vinegar, powdered sugar, poppy seeds, ground mustard, salt and pepper.
Top the salad with some dressing. Use dressing sparingly and stir to coat. The pasta will absorb additional dressing as it sits. Keep unused dressing in refrigerator to use the day after if desired.
Serve on a bed of baby spinach.
Enjoy!

I’m guessing 2 cups poppyseeds is a misprint? Maybe 2 Tbsp? LOL!
