Pasta Chicken Salad with Spinach...

Mmm Mmm. I got this recipe from my friend and it is sooo good! I could eat the whole thing by myself, and still feel great afterwards!


8-10 oz bow tie pasta
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup salad oil
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (I didn't have any on hand so I made some following this recipe ... minus the ginger, but it turned out fine)
1/3 cup rice vinegar (I actually just used regular white vinegar)
2-3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp seasoned salt

1/4 tsp seasoned pepper

3-4 cups cooked chicken

1/2 cup fresh parsley
(or dried parsley... but definitely less than 1/2 cup of the dried)
1/2 cup green onions
7 cups lightly packed trim baby spinach


-Cook and drain pasta.
-In a little oil, saute sesame seeds. Stir in remaining oil, teriyaki sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper.

-Pour over pasta and chicken after dressing has chilled. Add onion, parsley and just before serving add spinach.
