Chicken Crunch Salad sits at the intersection of pasta salad, chicken salad, and something entirely its own! It has the tender pasta noodles in a rich, creamy, zesty dressing of pasta salad, the savory, juicy shredded chicken of chicken salad, and yet it also provides some Tex-Mex fun thanks to spicy, refreshing salsa and flavored tortilla chips for crunch. It's literally the best of all worlds in a single dish! Chicken Crunch Salad is so speedy, easy to make, and tasty, it'll be your first choice for lunch for a long time!
