Preparation
Chef’s notes
We like to use either Newman’s Own or Olive Garden brand light Italian dressing.
Make this side dish a complete meal by adding shredded chicken and/or cooked pasta such as penne, macaroni, or fusilli just before you mix all of the ingredients together. To make it a totally simple, no-cooking-required meal, purchase a rotisserie chicken from the deli and omit the pasta.
