  This is a wonderful salad. I make it when I have left over protein. For instance if we have rotisserie chicken for supper, then the left overs go into the salad. Great recipe, thanks! - 6/30/10

  Wow does this recipe make a lot! For mine, I used Kraft FreeMayo (no fat, very little calories), and Kraft Free Italian dressing for the base. I put in half an onion, broccoli, egg whites, chicken, carrots, black olives, tomatoes, garlic and tarragon. Came out great. - 11/29/09

  This sounds like a great combination of vegetables, pasta and meat! I will try this with variations, brown rice pasta (husband has celiac disease), cucumber and an oil and white basalmic vinegar dressing with a little salt, pepper and tarragon too. A great base recipe. - 8/26/13

  Terrific recipe! I used grilled chicken and cut back on the dressings as I prefer my pasta salad a bit on the dry side. I think this dish works warm or cold! Thanks for sharing! - 1/7/11

  made this today with extra veggies from the farmer's market! The ranch dressing gives it a little zip! I used FF yogurt instead of sour cream. - 9/1/10

  This was excellent! I never would have thought that mayo, ranch, and sour cream would make such a delicious dressing! I have having leftovers for lunch today. - 7/30/10

  I make a variation of this all the time and it's really good and filling.I recently discovered I could use fat free greek yoghurt flavoured with herbs of your choice. tastes just as good and cuts out more calories. Thanks for posting. - 9/17/09

  DO you think it would be too dry if I left out the sour cream? - 8/21/09

  wow! this sounds soooo good! Q: This might seem dumb but, does the chicken (or protein of your choice) have to be cooked first? If it does then how would you prepare it? - 8/2/09

  Yes, the protein should be cooked. For the chicken, I use either baked or grilled chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces. Other possibilities include canned tuna or crab, salad shrimp, diced ham, etc.
