Favorite Recipe Tag

So here is my favorite recipe tag: Although it is only a tag I think I will start posting a recipe every week because it is fun and I like to try new things:

Pasta Salad:

12 oz. bag bow tie pasta
12 oz. box radiatore pasta
20 oz. can pineapple tidbits
2 cups chopped celery
4 green onions, sliced
1 pkg. craisins
1 cup cashews or almonds
1 cup grapes, sliced
4 cups chicken breast, cooked, cooled and diced
1 cup mayo (Do not use Miracle whip)
16 oz. bottle of Coleslaw dressing

Directions:
Cook pasta, rinse with cool water and let cool. Mix with other ingredients.

Variations: (You can play around with these ingredients omiting some and adding others)
*Add coconut
*Replace the green onion with red onion.
*Add cilantro
*Add corn
*Add green or red pepper
*Use Cool whip instead of Coleslaw dressing

Have fun and I hope you enjoy!

I tag Adrienne, Daynna, and Tracy!

This is my absolute favorite! I made it for the card swap and it takes all i have not to just sit down with a fork and eat the rest of it in one sitting! I'm so glad you introduced me to this!
