Chicken & Fruit Bowtie Pasta Salad- Mylinda & Heather

• 2- 12oz pkg. bowtie pasta. Boil drain and cool.
• 1- 20oz can pineapple tidbits, drained
• 2 C celery, chopped
• 2-3 green onions, including tops, chopped
• 2 C green/red grapes, cut in half
• 1- 9.5oz can cashews
• 1- 6oz pkg craisins
• 2- 11oz cans mandarin oranges, drained
• 4 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
• Dressing:
• 1- 16oz bottle coleslaw dressing (bottled in salad dressing section, Kraft makes one I don't know who else)
• 1 C mayonnaise
• 1 t salt
• 1/4 t pepper (or more)
• Boil pasta, drain, and cool. Add dressing to pasta and carefully toss. Add remaining ing. and again toss gently. This makes a ton so you can easily half the recipe and still have plenty plenty.
• Heather's Note** I love this recipe. It is one of my favorites. The version I have is a little different- it calls for seashell pasta, 2 c. water chestnuts slivered, and 2 c. diced apples with skin. It also uses 1 c. red onion instead of the green onions, but I love the flavor of green onions, so I think I would use those instead. It also uses one 8oz bottle of Kraft coleslaw dressing with 1 c. mayo, and just two cups of seashell macaroni. I made this at Kaleb's blessing. Good stuff!)
