Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad

Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad II


Ingredients

*

1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta
* 1/4 cup sesame seed
* 1/4 cup salad oil (canola or other vegetable oil)
* 2/3 cup soy sauce
* 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
* 3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
* 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
* 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
* 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
* 4 cups fresh spinach leaves, torn

Directions


1
Boil water, add pasta and cook according to directions.

2
Drain and rinse pasta with cool water, set aside.

3
Heat oil on a small skillet over med-low heat. Stir in sesame seeds and cook until light brown.

4
Remove from heat and allow the pan to cool (or you will regret it!). Stir in soy sauce, vinegar and sugar and stir to combine.

5
Add cooled pasta to a bowl, pour dressing over the top and mix well. Stir in cooked chicken. There will be a lot of dressing left on the bottom of the bowl- don't worry, it will be absorbed. Cover and refrigerate 3-6 hours, stirring a couple of times. If you skip this step, the dressing will not absorb.

6
Before serving stir in parsley, green onions and torn spinach and mix well.
