Ashlie's Spinach, Chicken, and Pasta Salad


This makes a huge salad. You could easily half it and it still makes a lot.
Dressing:
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup bottled teriyaki sauce
2/3 cup white wine vinegar
6 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

Salad:
16 oz. bowtie pasta cooked al dente
1 (10 oz.) bag fresh spinach
1 (6 oz) bag craisins
3 small cans mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 c. parsley
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/4 c. sesame seeds, toasted
6 oz. honey roasted peanuts
2 c. cooked chicken, cut in small pieces

Cook the pasta. Blend dressing ingredients together. Mix dressing and cooked pasta in medium bowl and marinate for at least two hours. Combine the rest of salad ingredients in large salad bowl, add pasta and toss.
