Fusilli Chicken Salad Recipe

I accepted a challenge from FairPrice to come up with a recipe using their very own FairPrice HouseBrand products. Since my family loves to eat pasta salads, here's what I came up with using FairPrice Whole Wheat Fusilli Pasta and FairPrice Olive Oil Spread as the key ingredients.
