Miniature Ravioli & Chicken Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing

Great reviews every time I make this. A nice change from the standard pasta salads. There are many renditions to this salad. There's really no way of messy it up. I like the miniature ravioli's (preferably fresh) but others have used tortellini's & rotini also. Give it a try. I think you'll love it.
