This is a simple and quick recipe as well as tasty.
You can add more or less of ingredients to your family's taste.
Roasted corn off the cob would be great instead of the peas- alas we ate it all. lol. You choose the cheese- this is what I had on hand.

How to Make Summer Chicken Salad
- Cook pasta in boiling water for 7 minutes.
Place frozen peas in a colander.
Drain pasts over the peas. Rinse in cold water- stir to get all the water out of the elbows. Set aside to drain well. - In a large bowl-(I use an empty gallon ice cream bucket/w lid).
Combine mustard, salad dressing, vinegar, celery seed, garlic powder, seasoned salt, sugar, minced onion and salt and pepper to taste.(I usually make extra of this sauce- because the pasta absorbs the dressing- and we can't have dry salad- can we)
