Fruit and Pasta Salad

24 oz. pasta, cooked and drained
20 oz. pineapple bits, drained
2 c. celery, chopped
3 gr. onions, chopped
red and green grapes, sliced
9.5 oz. can cashews
6 oz. pkg. craisins
22 oz. mandarin oranges
4 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
16 oz. bottle coleslaw dressing
(I just mix up some mayonnaise, sugar and a little milk for the dressing)
1 c. mayo
salt and pepper to taste


Mix up your dressing and mayo in a large bowl
Add the rest of the ingredients saving the pasta and the mandarin oranges until last so they don't get broken up.
Add more sugar or mayo until it tastes right if you made your own dressing (should be a little sweet)
