Stephanie's Yummy Chicken Pasta Salad

I have no idea who Stephanie is.  I got this recipe from my master cook Aunt Wendy but we will still give credit to Stephanie.  I love this pasta salad and made it for a family Elders Quorum Party.  It makes a ton and could totally be made for dinner but you will have to cut the recipe down.



1 pkg. (16oz) bow tie pasta, cooked following pkg. directions
1 pkg. (16oz) radiatore (colored) pasta, cooked following pkg. directions
2 cans (20oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
3-4 cups celery, chopped
4 bunches green onions, chopped
1-2 cups cashews, whole or chopped
3-4 cups red flame grapes, sliced in half (can also use Craisins)
4 chicken breasts, diced (can also use 16oz pkg. Louis Rich grilled chicken)
1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan

Dressing:
1 cup Mayonnaise (no substitute)
1 bottle 16 oz. Kraft coleslaw dressing (I have used others but Kraft really is the best)
1/2 t. onion salt

Prepare all of the ingredients as indicated.  Drain the pastas well and place in a large bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and toss to blend.  Mix dressing ingredients together and pour over pasta mixture.  This is a Big salad that serves 30.  It can be easily halved.
