Pasta Salad

Here is a recipe I've had for a while but kept forgetting to put it up. It's an old Kiffe tradition when I was growing up but I've modified it. It is the oh so famous Pasta Salad, it's fast easy and quite delectable.
All you need is:
1 bag of Rotini preferably the colored noodles, it makes it more fun.
1 can of shredded chicken.
1 packed of Italian seasoning dressing.
1 cucumber - pealed or not which ever you prefer, (you'll probably only use about half)
2-3 stalks of green onion, thinly sliced into circles
1 can of olives (not pictured above)
Directions:
Make the Italian dressing and put in fridge to cool. Then boil your noodles till soft, when done rinse in cold water and then place in fridge to cool.
Cut your cucumber into 4ths length wise and thinly slice into pieces (or thick which ever you prefer, I was just trying to use mine sparingly.) Then thinly slice your green onions all the way
down the stalk.
Drain your can of chicken and olives. Slice up the olives how ever you prefer (you may end up using only 3/4 of the can.)
Then get out your bowl of cooled pasta and toss in the cucumber, onions, chicken and olives until throughly mixed. Then pour the Italian dressing on top, (you will not use the whole thing) save some for those who want extra dressing on their portions.
*Tip* for left over olives stick them on carrot sticks for kids or grown ups to eat, they're super yummy and fun!
