Chicken Pasta Salad

12 oz. bag of Bowtie pasta
12 oz. bag of colored rotini (it can be a 16 oz bag too)
20 oz. can pineapple tidbits
2 cups chopped celery
1 bunch of green onions
1 cup cashews
1 cup red grapes (I usually do more, I like them)
4 cooked ckn breasts (cut into small pieces)
1 cup mayo (could substitute plain yogurt to make it healthier)
16 oz. coleslaw dressing (I don't always use the whole bottle, it can make it too runny)
I have also added mandarin oranges to this

Cook pasta and chicken. Let cool completely. Mix all ingredients together and chill in fridge for at least 1 hour.

This is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day.


****Side note****
This makes a very large batch. I usually make this if I am planning on feeding more than just my little family.
