16 Ounces Spiral or Rotini Pasta
2 Cups Cubed Cooked Chicken -- (see Notes)
20 Ounce Can Pineapple Tidbits -- drained
1 1/2 Cups Diced Celery
3/4 Cup Sliced Green Onions
1 Cup Seedless Green Grapes -- cut in half
1 Cup Seedless Red Grapes -- cut in half
1 Cup Dried Cranberries
1 Cup Ranch Salad Dressing
3/4 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Cups Salted Cashews
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the chicken, pineapple, celery and grapes. Drain pasta and rinse under cold water. Stir into the chicken mixture along with the dried cranberries.
In a small bowl, whisk the ranch dressing and mayonnaise together. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in cashews
NOTES : This makes a really large salad and you might want to cut it in half. Everyone loves it and you really don't need to add the chicken. It's good without.
