Party Pasta & Chicken Salad. - Harborwitch - 10-17-2011 Tonya made this for a bridal shower yesterday and it was fantastic. I could eat a bloody ton of this stuff! Jean I'm not sure where the mango went, I didn't see it in the salad, but I'd sure toss some diced mango in! Yummy stuff!

Re: Party Pasta & Chicken Salad. - Harborwitch - 10-17-2011 The ginger was the kicker! I just loved it! I just might have to make this soon. Although it screams summer I can't help but crave it!
