Tuxedo Salad

This is another yummy salad and also makes a lot! I got this recipe from my friend Miquelle's blog.

Tuxedo Salad

16 oz bowtie pasta (farfalle)

The dressing:
1 cup oil
2/3 cup teriyaki sauce
6 Tbs sugar
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients together to create the dressing. Cook the pasta the night before and add it to the dressing so that the pasta can soak it up.

10oz baby spinach
6 oz craisins
2 cans, 11 oz mandarin orange segments, drained
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
6 oz honey roasted peanuts
2-8 oz cans water chestnuts, drained (I left these out because I don't like them :)
Teriyaki chicken, cooked, cubed, and cooled (made using the following recipe)

Teriyaki chicken marinade:
3/4 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ginger
2 Tbs lemon juice

Place chicken and marinade in crockpot cook on low for 3-4 hours until cooked through and tender. Turn several times while cooking.
Assemble in a large, large bowl and enjoy!
