Calories
Ingredients
- 16 oz. Bowtie pasta boiled until tender
- 6 large chicken breasts boiled till cooked, cut into bite size pieces.
- 3 can mandarin oranges drained (I would up this to 4 cans)
- 2 cups water chestnuts drained (I left these out)
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 bunch green onions chopped
- ¾ cup honey roasted peanuts I used a mixture of honey roasted cashews and peanuts
- 6 oz. cranberries
- 10 oz. spinach add spinach before serving, I would leave this out
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds I would skip these
- Dressing
- 1 cup oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- ⅔ cup white wine vinegar I used red
- ⅔ cup teriyaki sauce
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except spinach (I'd reserve a little of the dressing to toss in before serving). Place overnight in refrigerator in zip-lock bag.
- Before serving: Mix together zip-lock bag ingredients and spinach...serve (I would skip this of just serve the salad on the spinach to make it look pretty)
- For the dressing - Whisk all dressing ingredients together.
