We love this meal because it truly ends up being an all in one that can be personalized for our families preferences. We love using the low fat or fat free “robust” Italian dressings in this salad and often sprinkle the top with a little Parmesan or even Feta for a kick of flavor. The kids love it because of the bright colors and noodles and of course we just love the fact that this roasted chicken & veggie pasta salad stretches our budgets a bit further. Nothing feels like summer quite like this tasty dish for our family!
