Asian Pasta Salad

This is amazing. You have to try it!!! I don't usually love pasta salad, but this is to die for!

Cook 16 oz bowtie noodles.

Dressing:
1/2 c canola oil
2/3 c teriyaki sauce
1/2 c white wine vinegar
4 T sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 bag spinach ( I usually add more the next day)
1 c craisins
2 cans mandarin oranges drained
1 bunch green onions
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1/4 c toasted sesame seeds (you have to toast them yourself in the oven. sometimes I skip this step)
1 c honey roasted peanuts
2 c chicken (or leave this out for a lighter salad)

Mix dressing and pasta. Chill for at least 4 hours. It will be soupy if you don't. Add the rest and toss together before serving. This is a big recipe, so be prepared to give some away or eat it all week! Enjoy!
