Chicken Bowtie Pasta Salad

Every week I find myself making this salad :)  I love how it is still as good as it was the first time after it's been in the fridge a couple days.  My husband and I whip this up every week and find ourselves eating it for a quick and easy lunch, pulled straight from the fridge.  It's also great on the side on any meal!  It's a great, light combination of fresh fruit, veggies, chicken, pasta, draped with a delicious sauce.  Eat up!
