Mom's Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad
149
Welcome the warm weather with a cool, healthy, and refreshing dish! My mom’s recipe for Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad has been a favorite among family and friends for over 30 years, thanks to the perfect combination of juicy chicken, crisp vegetables, and tender pasta — all tossed together in a light Asian-inspired dressing. It’s a perfect make-ahead weeknight dinner and a crowd-pleasing potluck picnic favorite!
