Comments:

I love this pasta salad recipe! I always use a rotisserie chicken. . . much easier and so much more flavorful. I'm not a cashew fan, so I either substitute roasted almonds or leave out the nuts altogether. Also, make sure you use the Kraft (or Litehouse) Coleslaw Dressing, other brands do not taste the same at all!
