Bowtie Chicken Salad

Recipe originally submitted by Karalee Merrill

5 12.5 oz. cans of chicken (I like the Costco brand the best)
1 12 oz. bag of Bow-tie pasta, cooked and drained
1 bunch sliced green onions
1 16 oz. bottle coleslaw dressing
2 cups mayonnaise

Combine and chill overnight all above ingredients (not absolutely necessary, you can just go on and add the rest of the ingredients if you want but the finished product is better after a night in the fridge.)


Prior to serving add:

1 large can pineapple tidbits
1 cup chopped celery
1 pound red grapes, cut in half
4-5 apples sliced
1 package slivered almonds

It also makes a really good sandwich filling if you double the chicken and leave out the pasta.
