Chicken, Craisin, And Cashew Bow-Tie Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Salad
4 cups cooked chicken breasts, diced
6 cups bow tie pasta, cooked al-dente
1 1/2 cups green grapes, sliced in half
1 1/2 cups red grapes, sliced in half
2 (5 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained and quartered
1 (10 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
2 cups celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup scallion, thinly sliced (green onions)
2 cups cashews, whole and halves
2 cups craisins (dried cranberries)
Dressing
1 (16 ounce) bottle hidden valley brand coleslaw dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Miracle Whip

Preparation

In a large bowl mix all salad ingredients together, except cashews and Craisins.
Whip together Dressing ingredients. Toss dressing with the mixture in the large bowl.
Let this mixture marinate in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
Mix in cashews and Craisins just before serving. Serve cold.
*Note: You could use almonds instead of cashews, but I prefer the cashews. You could also use a different brand of coleslaw dressing, but I've had the best results with Hidden Valley brand. *.
