Tuxedo Salad

This recipe came from a friend of mine. I made it for the first time for a baby shower and have made it for almost every big event since. Everyone always loves it and it makes SO much that is is a great salad to make for a large group of people. It is super easy and not expensive to make. So, if your looking for a great salad to make for an upcoming event look no more.. this salad is the one!!

Tuxedo Salad

Ingredients:
16 oz Bow Tie Pasta

The Marinade:
1 cup oil
2/3 cup teriyaki sauce
6 Tbsp. Sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Cook the pasta the night before your going to serve it and add cooked pasta to marinade. I use a large scent free trash bag to mix everything together.

The Salad
10 oz baby spinach (spring greens works great too)
6 oz craisons
2 can mandarin oranges
3 chopped green onions
1/4 cup sesame seeds
6 oz honey roasted peanuts
Teriyaki chicken (you can find this at Costco) *warm following directions on bag and slice

Add pasta to salad right before serving.
Enjoy! Serves about 25 people

This sounds wonderful! I am just wondering if you pour any remaining marinade over the entire salad. Otherwise, is there any dressing?
