Recipe Introduction


Fresh lemon, pea pods and almonds give this 30-minute salad its pizzazz.



List of Ingredients




1 box Betty Crocker® Suddenly Salad® ranch & bacon pasta salad mix
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 1/2 cups snow pea pods, strings removed, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Leaf lettuce, if desired


Recipe



1. Empty Pasta mix into 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Drain pasta; rinse with cold water. Shake to drain well.
3. In large bowl, stir together seasoning mix, mayonnaise, lemon peel and lemon juice. Stir in chicken, pea pods and almonds. Serve on lettuce leaves. Serve immediately, or refrigerate.

SERVES 4

Do-Ahead: Make this salad up to 24 hours before serving. If needed, stir in a few drops of milk to make it creamy again.

Health Twist: For fewer calories, use reduced-fat or fat-free mayonnaise.

Time-Saver: No leftover cooked chicken on hand? You can buy frozen chopped cooked chicken, canned chunk chicken or rotisserie chicken.
