1 box bow tie pasta
4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or all of the breast meat of a rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup green onions (sliced and diced into oblivion)
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 bag spinach, stems removed
1 small bag pea pods
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
Dressing (double this into two batches)
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil (sesame oil works great here, too)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Cook the pasta al dente; drain. Mix with the cooked chicken. Marinade the chicken and pasta in the dressing in the fridge overnight.
Toss altogether right before serving with the round two of the dressing.
