Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 mins

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

02

Step
5 mins

Mix mayonnaise, lemon pepper seasoning, and dried mustard together in a large bowl. Mix in cherry tomatoes, peas, and chicken. Fold in rotini. Sprinkle paprika over salad before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
Feel free to substitute the chicken with canned tuna or cooked shrimp.
This salad tastes even better after the flavors have had a chance to meld, so prepare it a few hours in advance if possible.
