Creamy Chicken Bow Tie Salad

I made this one up myself when I was looking for something different. Jerry has requested it be added to our regular rotation.

2-3 grilled chicken breasts, cubed
8 oz bow tie pasta
1 cup pea pods
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup finely grated cheese (Monterey Jack or real Parmesan is good)

Dressing:
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T. vinegar
1/2 t. sugar
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 t. each salt & pepper
1/4 t. basil
1/4 t. oregano
1/2 t. parsley
1/4 t. dry mustard

Mix dressing ingredients together and set aside. Cook bow tie pasta according to directions. Rinse with cold water after draining. Toss all ingredients with dressing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
