Summer Chicken Pasta Salad

Ok, so I know it is officially fall y'all, but this recipe is worth sharing and worth eating year round!  I promise!!!  Very simple to make too.

3 Large Cans of Canned Chicken (like the size from Costco or Sams Club) 
 
1 16-oz. Bottle of Kraft Coleslaw Dressing 

1 Cup Mayonnaise 
  
1 Cup celery

2 Cups roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

1 12-oz. Bow Tie Pasta
(I use Gluten Free pasta - Schar brand specifically)

1 12-oz. Spiral Pasta (I use Gluten Free pasta - Schar brand specifically)

1 Cup seedless red grapes, halved

1 Small Can Pineapple Tidbits, Drained

2 Cups Craisins

6 Green Onions, Sliced

Cook both types of pasta. Toss pasta with small amount of vegetable oil to prevent from sticking. Let cool. Combine all remaining ingredients. Toss with pasta and canned chicken. Chill until ready to serve.

***This makes enough to feed a small army!  Not kidding.  This time around I cut in half!!!
