Chicken Cheddar Pasta Salad

Another great favorite, especially for a salad supper.  Serve this along with fresh fruit and muffins and you have an easy meal. If you plan to double or triple this recipe, I must warn you that it multiplies. This can be served without the spring mix, but it makes a beautiful salad for a buffet table.
Chicken Cheddar Pasta Salad
8 ounce package of grilled chicken strips (fajita chicken)
6 ounce fettucine noodles, broken into pieces
3 ounce Cheddar Jack grated or cubed cheese
1/2 red pepper, diced or strips
1/2 green pepper, diced or strips
1/2 yellow pepper, diced or strips
4 ounces pepperoni, cut into strips
8 ounce bottle of Italian dressing
5 cups spring mix
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Cook fettucine as directed and drain and rinse in cold water. Cut chicken strips into smaller pieces.  Combine ingredients thru pepperoni and toss.  Add dressing and adjust seasoning.  Cover and chill 2 hours or overnight.  Shortly before serving, add spring mix and tomatoes. 
Serves 10
