Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, (cooked and shredded)
  • 2½ cups bowtie pasta, (cooked)
  • 2½ cups tri-color rotini pasta, (cooked)
  • 1 cup broccoli, (chopped)
  • ⅔ cups carrots, (chopped)
  • 1 16 ounce can kidney beans, (rinsed and drained)

Dressing:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1½ cups olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons tabasco sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine your chicken, pasta, broccoli, carrots, and kidney beans. Mix until fully combined.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together your sugar, red wine vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and tabasco sauce.
  • Pour the dressing mixture over the pasta mixture, and toss.
  • Store in fridge for 30 minutes (We prefer to have the dressing sink into the pasta and vegetables, so they taste less like vegetables, and more like the dressing).
  • Serve cold.
