This tasty chicken salad tops my list of most-requested recipes, informs Fran Thompson of Tarboro, North Carolina. I've made it for countless occasions—from church potlucks and family functions to bridal luncheons. Ingredients:
6 ounces uncooked spiral pasta |
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce |
1/3 cup white wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast |
2 cups torn fresh spinach |
1/2 cup sliced green onions |
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, sugar, sesame seeds, salt and pepper; shake well. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; place in a bowl. Add chicken and half of the dressing; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Set remaining dressing aside.
2. Just before serving, add the spinach, onions, parsley and remaining dressing; toss to coat. Yield: 8 servings.
