    Not only did this taste fantastic, but the presentation was gorgeous. It exceeded expectations and I'm sure it will be in a regular rotation. The suggestion of serving the shells on a deviled eggs plate was perfect.

    Chopped Salad Appetizer Shells,This beautiful appetizer consists of an Italian chopped salad that is mounded into cooked pasta shells. It can be made up to four hours ahead and the romaine salad will remain crispy for serving. Note: To give proper credit, this is an adaptation of recipe #29329, which uses chicken as a main ingredient. In the version I am posting, the chicken is eliminated and the chopped salad is garnished with salami and feta cheese. I also make my own vinaigrette, but if you prefer, just use a bottled Italian dressing.,Not only did this taste fantastic, but the presentation was gorgeous. It exceeded expectations and I’m sure it will be in a regular rotation. The suggestion of serving the shells on a deviled eggs plate was perfect.,This was incredibly easy to make and SO GOOD! I’m planning on making them again for Easter this year.

    Advance Preparation Tip from a Reviewer: "the Day Before, I Cooked the Shells to Al-Dente, Rinsed Them in Cool Water, Separated Them and Let Them Cool. Then, I Put Them in a Ziplock. I Chopped Everything For the Salad Part and Put It in a Ziplock, Without the Dressingl. the Next Day, I Mixed the Dressing Into the Salad and Stuffed the Shells. Worked Like a Dream.".
