Teriyaki Chicken Pasta Salad

Someone brought over this meal for us for post-baby help.  I thought it was really delicious and it also made great leftovers (since it doesn't even need to be reheated).. So I looked up the recipe online.  There are a few different versions I found, but this was the closest to what we had.

Dressing
1/2 cup oil
1/3 cup bottled teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
3 T sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Salad
8 oz bow tie pasta, cooked, drained, and cooled
2 cups cooked chicken, tossed with 2-3 T teriyaki sauce
1/2 bag fresh spinach (about 5 ounces)
3/4 cup craisins
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 T sesame seeds, toasted
3/4 cup. honey roasted peanuts
Fresh Parmesan (optional)

1. Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well blended.
2. Mix about 1/2 cup of the dressing with the cooked pasta in a large bowl and marinate for at least one hour.
3. Combine the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Just before serving, add pasta and toss. Add dressing to taste and toss. Serve immediately.
Makes 4-6 large servings

Note:  if you want to save some for later, keep the spinach separate until ready to serve... otherwise the spinach will get soggy
