CHICKEN CASHEW SALAD – Super simple and really tasty, serve this pasta salad as a side dish or on top of a croissant as a main dish.
This is a great little pasta salad that’s been in my collection long enough that I no longer remember the source. My family love it, even after all these years.
It’s a great dish to make ahead of time. It also keeps really well in the fridge for a few days. My kids tend to fight over the leftovers in the fridge.
I also love to make this salad up to bring to potlucks and BBQs. It goes with a variety of main dishes, or even on top of a croissant as a main dish.
If you have Mayo on hand instead of Miracle Whip, go ahead and switch it out. I don’t think it makes a difference.
Here’s what you need to make Chicken Cashew Salad…
- Pasta
- Brown sugar
- Miracle Whip
- Lemon juice
- Vinegar
- Salt
- Celery
