CHICKEN, CRAISIN, AND CASHEW BOW-TIE PASTA SALAD



Chicken, Craisin, and Cashew Bow-Tie Pasta Salad image

This is my favorite chicken pasta salad! The tangy dried cranberries and crunchy cashews combine wonderfully in a creamy pasta salad that is substantial enough for a main dish or perfect as a summer side dish. It is pretty enough for company and can be made up to a day a head. We served this as a side dish at our summer wedding reception five years ago and I still get compliments.

CRAISIN CHICKEN SALAD



Craisin Chicken Salad image

I love chicken salad, mostly because it's so easy to do. This one is a nice change from the usual with the addition of craisins. The cream cheese makes it super creamy, but I leave it out sometimes and bump up the mayo instead.
