Chicken Pasta Salad (aka Chicken Tar-Tar)

This is an easy recipe aside from the fact that there is a lot of chopping required. In addition, it makes a lot! I usually serve this with parmasean breadticks.

2-3 c. large shell macaroni, cooked (I also use those spirals)
4 c. cooked chicken, diced
2 c. diced celery
2 c. diced apple (leave skins on)
2 c. red grapes, cut in half
2 cans sliced water chestnuts, drained
2 T. green onions, chopped
1 1/2 c. slivered almonds
Chop and combine, adding apples last
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mix together the following and add to chopped ingredients:
1-1/2 c. Kraft Coleslaw dressing (found by other salad dressings in store)
1-1/2 c. Miracle whip salad dressing

Chill and serve
