Today's Prompt 
Share a pasta salad recipe.

Well I have a kitchen sink pasta salad that I love to make it's my go to for a salad for parties or bbq's. It's a little different but I've never had a single complaint. I typically don't add the chicken to the recipe because I think it's amazing without it. I've also changed the veggies around depending what I have it's still amazing. Hands down the best one I've found. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Might have to make it this weekend. 


I found it online from Chin Deep 
Find it (here) I've taken the image and recipe from the Chin Deep website to share.
