This salad is great right away but even better if stored overnight in the refrigerator. My husband, who does not like pasta salads, loves this one.

How To Make chicken pasta salad

Step 1

In large bowl assemble shells, chicken, diced celery, green grapes, pecans and craisins.
Step 4

Dressing: In small bowl mix mayonaise, sour cream, sweet pickle relish, seasoned salt, curry powder and sugar.

Add dressing to chicken mixture and stir to coat. I usually use remaining craisins to decorate the top of the salad.
