Chicken Alfredo Pasta Salad

I took this to a last minute BBQ as a side dish and it was great! Everyone loved it! I made some changes to what I had on hand and noted it in bold. The serving size says 4, but everyone knows how BBQ's go, there is always so much food no one ever takes the full serving. But, I think it would be great on a hot day as a light main dish. Throw a lettuce salad and some fruit with it and it would be a great meal!
