Oriental Spinach Bowtie Pasta Salad

from the kitchen of Shawnalyn

Ingredients:
Salad:

1 bag spinach
16 oz Bowtie pasta, cooked with 1 Tbs salt, cooked, drained, & cooled
1 bag craisins
3 small cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 bunch green onion, sliced
1 Tbs fresh parsley, chopped
1 can chicken breast chunks, drained
1 cup sugar toasted almonds (or any honey roasted nut)

Dressing:

1 cup oil
1 cup Kikkoman teriyaki sauce
1 cup wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Directions:

Combine all salad ingredients together. Mix all dressing ingredients together and pour over salad.

This is a really yummy salad. It can be used for a main course with some bread, or as a side dish, or is great for pot-lucks. I use rice vinegar instead of wine vinegar usually. This tastes a little bit like that oriental chicken salad, that was your favorite, that I used to make.
