16oz. bowtie pasta, cooked al dente
Dressing:
1/2 c. vegetable or canola oil
2/3 c. Teriyaki sauce (I like Mr. Yoshida or Kikkoman)
1/2 c. white wine vinegar
4 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
Salad: (Adjust amounts to your taste or to what you have around)
1/2 bag fresh spinach (I used a whole bag)
1 c. craizins
2 cans mandarin oranges, drained (omitted)
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (omitted)
1/4 c. toasted sesame seeds (omitted)
1 c. honey roasted peanuts (substituted candied, slivered almonds)
2 c. cooked, diced chicken (I boiled mine)
Directions:
Directions:
Mix the dressing and cooked pasta and chill for 4 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally. (Check to make sure there isn't a pool of dressing in the bottom of the bowl.) A little while before serving add and toss together remaining ingredients. *I add more teriyaki sauce before serving if the noodles aren't flavored enough.
This makes a LARGE bowl of salad so it's great for potlucks or family gatherings. If you are making it for a smaller family/group you will want to half it.
