Chunky Chicken Pasta

This salad is soooo GOOD and always a crowd PLEASER. Even though it's great for POTLUCKS, it's even better for a weeknight DINNER so you can just have a big bowl all to YOURSELF!


Chunky Chicken Pasta Salad
8–12 ounces large shell pasta, cooked according to package directions
2 large chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 large gala apple, cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 cups halved red grapes
1 cup sliced or diced celery
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 heaping cup cashew pieces
1/2–1 cup coleslaw dressing (I just use Kraft)
1/4–1/2 cup mayonnaise
Salt and pepper

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine 1/2 cup dressing with the mayonnaise. Toss with salad ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Stir in more coleslaw dressing until salad is moist according to your desire.

TIP: You can also add pineapple tidbits or mandarin orange slices. It's all good!
