35 min8420 calThe potluck staple that shows up at every Canadian Canada Day barbecue, family reunion, and neighbourhood block party from coast to coast. Rotini pasta — always rotini because the spirals trap the dressing in every groove — grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, red onion, and a simple Italian dressing that soaks into the pasta overnight. Make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge — the pasta absorbs the dressing and the flavours develop into something significantly better than it was fresh. Add feta cheese crumbles on top if you want to look like you put in extra effort, which you didn't, because this salad takes 20 minutes of active work.

Conseils de pro
- 💡Always rinse the pasta with cold water — it stops the cooking and washes off starch that makes cold pasta gummy.
- 💡The salad absorbs dressing overnight. Before serving, add 2-3 tablespoons of extra dressing and toss again.
- 💡This serves 8 easily — make the full batch. It disappears faster than you'd expect at any gathering.
