Note: I doubled the recipe. I did not use the classic salad mix because I did not have it and I don't think my store carries this. I did use the corkskrew pasta in the different colors and grilled my Tyson garlic flavored chicken breasts on my george foreman and cut it up and it added awesome flavor. I also used extra parmesan cheese in the mix. Besides that difference, I made the recipe the same. Play around with it and add new flavors. This is a yummy cold side dish for a bbq or whatever you plan to do for the summer time.
