B-L-T Pasta Salad

We had lots of red and yellow cherry tomatoes to use, and this salad is a delicious way to do just that, although the recipe called for regular tomatoes.  Use whatever medium pasta you have, and use either romaine or iceberg lettuce.  I used home canned chicken, or use frozen cooked chicken or leftovers.   We like to use the Cooked Dressing recipe HERE.  The chicken makes this a main dish salad that I served with corn bread muffins.
