Chicken Pasta Salad
Chicken pasta salad combines tender poached chicken, penne, cherry tomatoes, and celery in a creamy lemon-Dijon dressing. Poaching the chicken at a bare 82°C simmer keeps every shred moist and flavourful. Ready in 30 minutes and better after an hour in the fridge, it works equally well as a main dish or a crowd-sized potluck side.

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad
Dill pickle pasta salad delivers bold briny flavour through three distinct pickle applications: brine soaked into warm pasta, chopped pickles folded into the salad, and more brine whisked into the creamy dill dressing. Each vector contributes a different sensory element that a single application cannot replicate. Ready in 25 minutes and better after a 2-hour chill, it is the most talked-about dish at any potluck table.
