My Version:
2-4 chicken breasts, cooked and diced or 1 can of chicken from Costco
16 oz bow tie pasta cooked and cooled
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
20 oz puneapple tidbits, drained
2 Golden Delicious Red Apples peeled and sliced
1 pkg (1/2 a bottle) poppy seed dressing
1 cup mayo
Mix all ingredients. Reserve dressing and mayo if you are not serving immediately. I like it chilled for an hour or two before serving so I put in the dressing and mayo and stick it in the fridge right away.
