Directions: |
Directions:Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Mix the coleslaw dressing and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add to the pasta, tossing gently to combine. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Meanwhile, mix the chicken, pineapple, water chestnuts, apple, grapes, celery and onion in a medium bowl. Refrigerate.
Just before serving, add the chicken mixture and cashews to the pasta, tossing gently until all the ingredients are combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into a large serving bowl or individual servings may be spooned onto lettuce leaves, crackers, celery sticks, or sliced cucumbers. |
