Preparation

Step 1

Cut apple, celery and onions into small pieces, and add to large bowl. Add chilled pasta and cubed chicken. Stir to mix ingredients a bit.

In separate bowl mix the dressing ingredients together until smooth. Take a taste to see if you want to add any additional sugar or mustard. Mix the dressing into the pasta and chicken mixture until well coated. Serve immediately or chill overnight to let the tastes really soak into the chicken and pasta.
