Chicken Pasta Salad

Shay has made this for several baby showers.  It is so good that now she gets requests for it.

Ingredients

  • 16 oz (7 cups) bow tie pasta
  • 9 cups cooked chicken cubed
  • 2 cups celery sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions sliced
  • 1/4 cup pimento drained and chopped
  • 1 package (16 oz) sweet green peas thawed
  • 1 large can of sliced (or pieces) mushrooms drained
  • 2 cups Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (buttermilk style)….I always make it from the package and make extra in case the pasta salad gets a little dry.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups of cashews (do not mix in until ready to serve)

Directions

Cook pasta and chicken and then combine all ingredients (except cashews) together in a VERY large bowl….add cashews when you are ready to serve.  This recipe can easily be cut in half if needed.
