2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
1/2 lb campanelle pasta
1/4 cup fennel finely chopped (if you don’t have fennel, just use additional onion)
2 cups grilled chicken breast cubed
1 red bell pepper or orange, diced
1 1/2 cups zucchini quartered
3 cups broccoli florets
2 mangos peeled and cubed
8 oz Italian dressing (½ bottle Kraft Tuscan House Italian Dressing or Zesty Italian, 16 fl oz size)
Couple pinches Kosher salt

Heat oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and fennel for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cook until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and place into a large bowl with the onions/fennel. Toss in rest of ingredients, gently stirring to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
