Chicken Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound uncooked pasta of your choice
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/2 cup sliced green olives
• 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup Italian-style salad dressing
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and pour pasta into a large dish.

Stir in the corn, mushrooms, celery, onions, olives, bell pepper and cheese.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the salad dressing and mayonnaise, then pour this mixture over the salad and toss again, to coat. Add flaked chicken and toss gently a final time.
