TIP
TIP: Lighten up this recipe by using low-fat mayonnaise. If not serving immediately, set some dressing aside to stir in just before serving to ensure a creamy pasta salad. Replace the jerk sauce with pesto for an Italian-flavored pasta salad. Note: Recipe Inspired by Dody, Perdue Community Member.
Step 2
Meanwhile, stir mayonnaise with jerk marinade. In a large bowl, toss cooked pasta with cooked and shredded chicken, celery, onion, bell pepper and carrot.
Step 3
Stir in the mayonnaise mixture until well combined. Serve immediately or chill for up to 6 hours before serving.
