Easy Pasta Salad

I was contacted by the California Black Olive Company to see if I was interested in posting a recipe using black olives. I love olives and will eat them right out of the can. However, I have a super, duper, quick and easy pasta recipe. It is so simple even I can't mess it up. I am not one of those cooks who measures things (that's why I can't bake) but this recipe you really can't mess up.

All you need is~
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cooked and cut into bite size pieces
Box of 3 color pasta, cooked and cooled
1 can California black olives (I cut them in half)
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, cut up (I actually use 2 jars...I love artichokes)
1 small bottle Kikkoman teriyaki sauce
1 small bottle of Italian dressing
optional ~ 2 red, yellow or green (any mixture) peppers, cut up (I didn't use this time)


It's an all in one bowl type recipe! Just mix pasta, chicken, olives, artichoke hearts and salad dressing together. Add teriyaki (and peppers) to taste. I actually used a half bottle of the Italian dressing and a half bottle of the teriyaki. Add more teriyaki and/or Italian dressing to taste. Toss well and serve. SO yummy! So Easy!
How about making some for New Year's....get all fancy and put it in a martini glass and garnish with an olive!
