Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad

This is the BEST pasta salad ever. Seriously. You have to make. I first had this salad at a family reunion and one of Joe's cousins brought it. My mother-in-law and I made her give us the recipe and we've both been making it ever since! It's perfect for summer events, but I make it year round.

CHICKEN BOW TIE PASTA SALAD

• 4 cups cooked chicken, diced
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 1 cup red grapes, halved
• 1 20-ounce can pineapple tidbits
• 1 12-ounce package bow tie pasta, cooked
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1 cup cashew halves
• 2 cups red apple, diced
• 2 cans mandarin oranges

Dressing:

• 1 small bottle coleslaw dressing
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon of each - ginger, thyme, and curry

Make the dressing first by whisking together all the ingredients; set aside. In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients, add the dressing and stir until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
