  • 1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Bring large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add pasta from salad mix to water. Reduce heat to medium. Boil gently 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain; rinse with cold water and shake to remove excess moisture.

    Add pasta to chicken mixture; stir to combine. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill, or until serving time.

    Just before serving, sprinkle contents of topping packets from salad mix over salad.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Sun-dried tomatoes have had most of their moisture dried away, leaving intense tomato flavor. They are sold dry in bulk or in jars in oil marinade. Use marinated sun-dried tomatoes to give this salad lots of tomato taste.
  • tip 2
    To reduce the fat in each serving of this salad by about 8 grams, use low-fat sour cream and low-fat mayonnaise.
  • tip 3
    For more Mediterranean flavor, add a jar of marinated artichoke hearts to this salad; drain and coarsely chop the artichoke hearts before you add them.
