Monique; I must compliment on your food displays and presentations. They always look so lovely and Oh sooooooo appetizing. You need to work for a cookbook company with all the lovely food photos that you take.

Beautifully presented, Monique! I am finally just getting into summer menus and will try your salad.
Here is one I served recently for a friend's birthday at the end of May (sorry, no photo). It was yummy!
CAESAR CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
SALAD
3 cups shredded grilled skinless chicken breasts
3 cups cooked penne
2 cups thinly sliced romaine
1-1/2 cups cherry tomato halves
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 (2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
LEMON YOGURT DRESSING
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T olive oil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp anchovy paste
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
Combine the chicken, pasta, romaine, tomatoes, basil, green onions, cheese parsley and garlic in a bowl and mix gently.
Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Add the dressing to the salad mixture and toss to coat. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
I served with a Microplane and a wedge of Parmesan Regianno.
