Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts or use already cooked chicken, like Rotisserie chicken
- ½ pound bowtie pasta noodles
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- ½ cup craisins
- ⅓ cup Cashews or Pine Nuts
- 1 can mandarin oranges 14 ounce
- ¼ cup cilantro snipped
- ¾ cup Teriyaki sauce divided
- ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon minced onion
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare pasta according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, dice raw chicken into bite size pieces. Place in a bowl or ziploc bag with 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce. You can marinate for up to 24 hours, or immediately cook in a skillet or grill pan for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Set aside.
- In a mason jar, shake together the remaining 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion, salt and pepper, sugar, and oil. Refrigerate until ready to assemble salad.
- To assemble salad, toss together the spinach, chicken, pasta, craisins, nuts, mandarin oranges, and cilantro. Just before serving drizzle dressing over salad, or serve dressing on the side. ENJOY.
Notes
- Short on time? Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Just slice the meat into pieces and you can add it right to the recipe.
- Any kind of small pasta shape works in this salad. It doesn’t have to be bowtie!
- Once assembled, this salad tastes best served right away. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within one day.
