SUMMER CASHEW CHICKEN GRAPE PASTA SALAD



Summer Cashew Chicken Grape Pasta Salad image

On many hot summer days, I can't face eating a hot meal. This salad makes a very satisfying meal without overheating the house or me! If I can't stomach the thought of cooking chicken myself for fear of heating up the house on a hot summer day, I just pick up a rotisserie chicken from my local grocer or I pick up grilled cooked chicken from Costco. With pre-cooked chicken, this recipe couldn't be easier to prepare! I've served this many times to rave reviews. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. It's a dish she picks up from her local deli on a regular basis. If you make it at home, it's much cheaper than the deli!

Time 15m

Yield 8 1 Cup servings, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb cooked chicken (poached, grilled, rotisserie, doesn't matter, just cooked)
1 lb pasta (macaroni, rigatoni, use your favorite, just not spaghett)
1/2 lb green seedless grape, washed and cut in half
1/2 lb red seedless grapes, washed and cut in half
1/2 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups mayonnaise (I use Hellman's Light Mayonnaise)
1 (9 1/4 ounce) can cashew halves, and pieces (I buy Planter's salted)
2 tablespoons milk (optional, also may want to add more depending on how long the salad has been in the refrigerator)

Steps:

  • Boil 1 lb. of pasta - al dente - according to package directions (I use rigatoni). Drain after cooking and let cool.
  • While the pasta is boiling, wash and halve the grapes.
  • Dice the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl or serving platter, combine the cooled, drained pasta with the grapes and diced chicken. Stir in the mayonnaise. I start with one cup of mayo and add more as needed. Really, just add as much as you personally like - it may be more or less than 2 cups.
  • Stir in the Lawry's seasoning salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Again, add to your liking. You may want more or less than 1/2 teaspoon of any of these - - it's your choice, go with what you like. Frequent sampling at this point will help you decide what your preference will be so grab a fork and start sampling!
  • If the salad is too thick and rich for your liking, stir in a couple tablespoons milk to thin it out. This part is optional.
  • This salad is always much better the next day after the flavors have had a chance to meld. This is when I usually add milk to loosen it up a bit.
  • Before serving, plate or dish up the salad and sprinkle cashew pieces on top of individual servings. DO NOT put the cashew pieces on the entire salad and refrigerate - - this will cause the cashew pieces to become soft and rubbery and nobody wants that! I just set the can of cashews on the table and let guests help themselves.
  • Sit back and enjoy your sweat free cold summer salad!

CASHEW, GRAPE AND CHICKEN SALAD



Cashew, Grape and Chicken Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 cup cashews, roasted and salted
3 cups chicken meat, cooked and chopped
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups California seedless grapes, separated and rinsed

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together first five ingredients until well combined. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh grapes. If fresh grapes are unavailable, you can use frozen grapes that have been thawed and drained.
  • If you don't have roasted cashews on hand, you can make your own by roasting raw cashews in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • To save time, you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Just be sure to remove the skin and bones before adding it to the salad.
  • If you're looking for a healthier version of this salad, you can use grilled chicken instead of fried chicken.
  • This salad is also a great make-ahead meal. Simply prepare the salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chicken, cashew, and grape salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
