I like to use new recipes and there aren't too many that I end up making over and over and OVER. I get bored! But this is one we found last year and had many a time over the summer. I made it again yesterday and remembered how much I loved it!
I didn't have the right produce on hand so I used green onions, carrots, and celery and it still tasted pretty good. I did miss the cucumber...

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, chicken, onion, celery, cucumber and olives. In a small bowl, whisk the Italian dressing, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Just before serving, fold in tomatoes. Yield: 12 servings.
