Karalee's Spinach Pasta Salad

Here is another favorite from Karalee, that I am anxious to try.

Karalee's Spinach Pasta Salad

From the kitchen of Karalee Dobbs

Dressing:

½ c. vegetable oil

1 c. teriyaki sauce marinade

2/3 c. white vinegar

6 T. sugar

½ t. salt and pepper

Mix all dressing ingredients together. 

Combine:

16 oz. bow tie pasta (cooked and drained)

2-3 c. diced cooked chicken (optional)

1 bunch green onions chopped fine

Pour dressing over the above ingredients and marinate for 2-3 hours or all day ( I prefer all day.)

Just before serving add:

2 cans mandarin oranges (drained)

1 pkg.  fresh spinach (chopped)

6 oz. peanuts

6 oz. craisins

This makes the large Tupperware bowl full.  Just guessing, but probably 15-20 servings.  Great for parties where you need to bring a large salad.  I get lots of people asking for the recipe as it is different.
