Chicken Pasta Salad

This recipe was incredible

8oz uncooked spiral shaped whole wheat pasta
1 12.5 oz canned chicken breast
1/4 c diced red onion
1 c fresh quartered strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh cubed pineapple ( I used canned tidbits and it was perfect)
1 cup low fat creamy poppy seed dressing ( I used the regular fat one because I couldn't find the creamy in low fat, but I only added about a 1/4- half a cup)
toasted pecans
Prepare pasta as directed, rinse under cold water and drain well.
Toss pasta with the next 6 ingredients. toast pecans in a pan ( I coarsely chopped them and added about 1 tsp of sugar to the pan). Toast them until the sugar melts. You can serve on a bed of spinach if you would like. Top with pecans. It is soooo yummy.
