This salad is heaven

I have made this salad several times, when I have all the ingredients prepared and waiting in the fridge I can hardly wait till lunch time! I followed the recipe here. I did replace the pasta with shredded chicken to lower the carbs. I also used a couple of squirts of liquid stevia, two tablespoons of xylitol, and a teaspoon of molasses for sweetening and a small hot chili pepper from our garden along with the jalapeno in the dressing and a pinch of xanthan gum, a couple of pinches of chia seed meal, and a teaspoon of mayonnaise to add some body.

Here is the dressing in the jar, see the emerald flecks of jalapeno.

After you make the dressing let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld together.
