This is an unusual combination of ingredients but trust me - it works! Sorry this recipe is a "Dump" one. I never measure but I can give you a general guideline. Most of it is to taste - so feel free to adjust to your own preferences.
The pineapple can be a trigger, but since its crushed and incorporated with safe pasta, I can tolerate it quite well.
3-4 cups uncooked pasta (I like elbow, bowtie, coloured)
1 cup or less fat free mayo
1-2 tbsp fat free italian dressing (optional for more zip)
1 tsp yellow mustard (optional - I don't usually add)
1 - 2 tbsp green relish (optional but really helps taste)
1 19 oz can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup lightly toasted slivered almonds
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1-2 cooked diced chicken breasts
Cook pasta. In a large bowl, mix together mayo, italian dressing, mustard, relish, pineapple (I drain about half the juice out) and combine to make dressing. If you are unsure about italian, mustard, relish - add small quantities and taste it.
Add onions, chicken and almonds.
Cool cooked pasta and combine.
Chill. Keeps in the fridge for several days.
