Chicken and Fruit Pasta Salad


Here is June's Recipe:

Chicken and Fruit Pasta Salad

2 medium packages of rotini or rotelle noodles (plain or multi-colored)
2-3 cups cooked cubed chicken breasts
(roasted chickens from the grocery store works great too)
2-3 cups washed seedless grapes
2-3 cups apples, cut in bite-sized pieces
2-3 cups sliced celery
2-3 stalks green onions, chopped (optional)
1 can chunked pineapple
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 cup salted cashews (or to taste)
1-2 bottles coleslaw dressing

Cook noodles; rinse and drain well. Drain pineapple, reserving juice to keep apple pieces from browning. (Drain juice from apples before adding.) Add all of the ingredients together, except for nuts. Toss until mixed. Chill. Add nuts just before serving. Makes about 1 gallon of salad.
