Ingredients
- 3 cups of raw tri-color rotini pasta
- 4 cups of cooked chicken breast, cubed
- ½ cup of green bell pepper, diced
- ¼ cup of green onions, diced
- 1 ½ cups of mayonnaise, like the one from Hellman's®
- ¾ cup of tightly packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
- 2 cups of salted cashew halves
Step 1
In a generous pot, bring water to a gentle boil seasoned with a pinch of salt. Cook the rotini until it reaches the perfect tender yet firm texture, which should take around 8 minutes. Once ready, drain the pasta and give it a refreshing rinse under cold water.
Step 2
Next, in a spacious bowl, combine the cooked pasta with juicy chicken, crisp green pepper, and aromatic green onions for a flavorful mix.
Step 3
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, brown sugar, vinegar, zesty lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Gently pour this delightful dressing over the pasta mixture and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure a uniform coating.
Step 4
For the best results, cover the bowl and let the dish rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken. Just before serving, or up to 2 hours in advance, sprinkle in the crunchy cashews for an added layer of texture and taste.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize Mason jars or clear containers to store the pasta salad for easy visibility and organization in your fridge.
- 2. Keep the dressing separate from the salad until ready to serve to maintain optimal flavor and texture.
- 3. Freeze leftover portions of the pasta salad in individual portions for a quick and convenient meal on busy days.
