Cashew Chicken Salad

Pefect for a nice lunch!

Combine:
2 cups cooked diced chicken
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 can water chestnuts
1 cup grapes, I usually slice in half
1 cup pinapple tidbits
1/2 cup diced apples
1 cup shell macaroni, cooked
2 hardboiled eggs, diced (optional)
1/2 cup chopped cashews
1/2 tsp grated onion

Mix Dressing:
1/2 cup coleslaw dressing
1/2 cup mayonaise

Combine all salad ingredients and then add dressing and fold. Use enough dressing to make salad a bit wet as it will be absorbed some. If you are not eating right away do not add cashews until just before serving. Place chicken on a salad leaf. Serve with a slice of cantalope and a roll.

Oriental Chicken Salad

I have been obsessed with this salad lately!!

2 pkg. Ramen Noodles
1 head of Cabbage
3-4 chicken breasts boiled and torn (if you like lots of chicken add more)!
shredded carrots
green onions
sliced almonds
2 cans mandrin oranges
sesame seeds

Dressing:
Ramen flavor pack
3 Tbl. vinegar
2 Tbl. sugar
1/3 c. oil

If I get a large head of cabbage I usually only use half of it and boil two chicken breasts, and then I can make it again in a week! I told you I have been obsessed!!
