Comments:  This is a beautiful pasta salad and delicious!  I don't use cilantro because of personal preference, but I'm sure it would be delicious.  I have not made it with the chicken, but this too would be a delicious addition.  This is a great family reunion, picnic or potluck salad as it has no mayonaise in it.  I ended up using a whole box of pasta and the balance was fine.
