Party Pasta Salad


1 lb box bowtie pasta, cook in salted boiling water. When cooked, rinse in cold water & drain.

While pasta is cooking, prepare following:
1 1/2-2 cups red grapes, cut in half
8 oz can pineapple tidbits, drained
12 oz can cashew, bits & pieces
2 stalks celery, diced small
3 large cans chunk white chicken, drained
*optional: handful chopped green onions
1 bag lettuce greens
(I usually don't add these, but my mom usually does)

Dressing: Mix in separate bowl until well combined
1 cup light mayo
3/4 bottle Kraft coleslaw dressing

Mix all ingredients in large bowl. I usually add some onion salt to taste. Refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.
This is always a hit at any party, and we actually get requests for it several times a year.
