MAKING
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse thoroughly to cool.

3. In large bowl, combine pasta with chicken, oranges, celery and yogurt.
4. Cover and chill I the refrigerator until ready to serve.
5. Just before serving, add cashews.
SERVING
6. Arrange the salad into individual serving plates and divide the pasta equally among each serving.
7. This makes an excellent appetizer.
TIP
To cook macaroni properly, use plenty of water. A too-small pot and too little water encourage the macaroni to clump and stick together, thus cooking unevenly. Using plenty of water helps to prevent macaroni from sticking together by quickly washing away the exuded starch.
