There is nothing really special about this recipe, but I let my kids help make it and they really liked it. I even used it as a main dish and it was a nice light summer meal.
1 bag tri-colored pasta, boiled, drained
2 Med tomatoes-cut up
1/2 cucumber cut in chunks
1 can sliced olives
1 cup grated cheese
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 bottle Italian dressing
1/2 bottle Ranch dressing
2 chicken breasts, boiled, cup up
Mix everything and enjoy--I altered this a bit and left out the carrots and added mushrooms. It made a huge batch, so unless you have a large family or are making it for a pot luck you could probably cut it in half.

Chocolate Frosting
1/3 cup margarine or butter (I always use butter)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. milk
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar (I used heaping measurements, add more powdered sugar for thicker frosting)
Melt butter and stir in cocoa. Add vanilla and milk. Gradually add powdered sugar until it reaches desired thickness. Add more milk 1 tsp at a time if too thick.
