Teriyaki Pasta Spinach Salad

My coworker had this for lunch it looked sooo good I had to ask her for the recipe!

Teriyaki Pasta Spinach Salad

1 bag (10 oz.) spinach
2-3 green onions, sliced
1/4 c. fresh parsley
1/3 c. craisins (I put in a few more!)
1/3 c. honey roasted peanuts (I put in a few more!)
1 can mandarin oranges, drained (I cut each segment in half just to make more pieces in my salad.)
1-2 c. cooked, cut-up chicken (or 1 large can chicken breast)
1 box (12-16 oz.) bow tie pasta (You're actually supposed to use 1/2 this amount but I don't know if it was because I used the mini-size pasta or what but the whole box seemed just right...especially after I took 1/3 out to save for the next day.)

Dressing:
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. Teriyaki sauce
1/3 c. rice vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Prepare the dressing ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. (Mine got about two hours of refrigeration and it was just as good as the 1/3 I reserved for the next day.) Mix all salad ingredients together and add dressing just before serving.

- Parmesan cheese can also be added….

My Mom made this and the family said it was really good.
