This is one of the BEST recipes for pasta salad. I always get compliments on it and I get asked to bring it to all family functions! We can't get enough!

Delicious - Made exactly as the recipe calls, but left out the onion! Great recipe!

first taste i wasnt so sure but the more i ate the tastier it was, although i made a few changes. to start with im from AUS so the mesurment in cups are smaller so i just getimated.haha i didnt add capsican(bell pepper) i used a tiny bit of brown vinigar as it was all i had adn used spring onions instead of onion. for the dressing i used mayo and added an extra 1/2 cup of sour cream as it was a bit sweet. next time i reduce the sugar and only put in 1/4 of a 1/4 cup. but was still yum and will make again

Great recipe! If you are looking for added color, I use rainbow rotini pasta, adds texture and color to the salad. Also add red or green halved grapes, let sit overnight and enjoy!

I left out the green peppers because we don't care for them. It tasted good but something was missing, haven't put my finger on it yet. Maybe next time I make it i'll try adding some grapes to give it a little more color.

Everyone loved this salad at our last party. I wanted to make a large batch, so I used a one pound box of the large seashell pasta and doubled all of the "sauce" ingredients. Didn't use all of it initially, but added some just before serving and the next day. Next time I may try some adding some red grapes. Thanks for sharing!

This salad is perfection. When store was out of purple grapes, I used green. (I cut them in half to add to salad) I needed color, so I added shredded purple cabbage. I thought it added good crunch and color to the salad so now I add every time. This is a good salad to treat girlfriends coming for lunch. Everyone enjoys it.

This was good but not great. I too left out the celery, onions and pepper and added grapes. Maybe I should have followed the recipe and not substituted.

What a hit! I doubled the recipe and brought it to a party. It was gobbled right up. I recieved great feedback. Will be making it again and again!

This easily prepared salad has become a usual request when BBQ season is upon us!

This recipe was very good. I put a sundried tomato garlic rub on the chicken and cooked on the grill - for extra flavor. I also added some dill because the salad seemed to be lacking some flavor. I recommend leaving out the salt in the recipe because of the cashews already having salt on them. Also, just for reference....4 average size stalks of celery equals about 2 cups.

This was a great salad, especially with a few additions. I added some halved red grapes and feta cheese.

This recipe is wonderful--I've lost count of how many times I've made it, and it's always a hit! I make it even easier by using Tyson already cooked, diced chicken!!!

We loved this recipe. I didn't have distilled white vinegar to played a chance and used apple cider vinegar. I omited celery & bell pepper, also, and instead added halved grapes. It was great and I'll definitely make it again!

THE BEST!!! Looking through the old recipes in my recipe box I see that I started making this in the summer of '03. And I still make it often today. I'm not a huge fan of pasta salad but this is really really good. The only change I've made is that I usually leave the cashews out. Don't want to risk someone at a party having a nut allergy. I make it the day before and have even made quadruple batches on a Friday night to cover all the BBQ's over a long holiday weekend. It's expected of me to bring it at summer gatherings and people actually seem disappointed if I don't.
