My friend from work brought this amazing Cashew Chicken Pasta Salad to our holiday party. She told me to try her cashew chicken salad with grapes, because it was one of her favorites. I knew immediately when I took the first bite that this was a pasta salad recipe that I wanted to make for my family.
She was right! It was absolutely delicious!
