spinach chicken bowtie salad
This salad is gorgeous and delicious. My friend Leslie brought it to my home last year for a get-together and it's one of my very favorites. Leslie is a great cook.
spinach chicken bowtie salad (my friend Leslie from my days in Hershey)
16 ounces bow-tie pasta, cooked and cooled
1 big bag of spinach from Costco
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
6 ounces honey roasted peanuts
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained (oops! I forgot to use them- drat!)
1 (6 ounce) bag craisins
dressing
1 cup oil
2/3 cup Teriyaki sauce
2/3 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

Marinate pasta in dressing for 2 hours. Combine the rest of the ingredients and pour over pasta mixture. Approximately 20 servings.
