Cashew Chicken Noodle Salad image

This should be renamed Can't Stop Eating It salad, because I ate darn near the whole bowl the day I made it. The chicken can be omitted if desired. This is a slightly different twist on ramen noodle salad. I was surprised to find that there weren't hundreds of recipes already posted.
