Chicken and Artichoke Salad

This recipe is from Linda Larsen

It's a salad not based on mayonnaise and it's very good! It's very easy to seed cucumbers. Just peel, then cut in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out all the seeds.

1 cup oil based Italian salad dressing
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts
1 16 ounce package rotini pasta
2 cups roasted chicken from the deli, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped

Combine salad dressing and the entire contents of the artichoke hearts. Cook rotini as directed on package. Rinse briefly with cold water, drain and add to dressing-artichoke mixture. Stir in chicken, green pepper and cucumber. Chill well.
